Psalm 17
King James Version
Psalm 17
King James Version
17 Hear the right, O Lord, attend unto my cry, give ear unto my prayer, that goeth not out of feigned lips.
2 Let my sentence come forth from thy presence; let thine eyes behold the things that are equal.
3 Thou hast proved mine heart; thou hast visited me in the night; thou hast tried me, and shalt find nothing; I am purposed that my mouth shall not transgress.
4 Concerning the works of men, by the word of thy lips I have kept me from the paths of the destroyer.
5 Hold up my goings in thy paths, that my footsteps slip not.
6 I have called upon thee, for thou wilt hear me, O God: incline thine ear unto me, and hear my speech.
7 Shew thy marvellous lovingkindness, O thou that savest by thy right hand them which put their trust in thee from those that rise up against them.
8 Keep me as the apple of the eye, hide me under the shadow of thy wings,
9 From the wicked that oppress me, from my deadly enemies, who compass me about.
10 They are inclosed in their own fat: with their mouth they speak proudly.
11 They have now compassed us in our steps: they have set their eyes bowing down to the earth;
12 Like as a lion that is greedy of his prey, and as it were a young lion lurking in secret places.
13 Arise, O Lord, disappoint him, cast him down: deliver my soul from the wicked, which is thy sword:
14 From men which are thy hand, O Lord, from men of the world, which have their portion in this life, and whose belly thou fillest with thy hid treasure: they are full of children, and leave the rest of their substance to their babes.
15 As for me, I will behold thy face in righteousness: I shall be satisfied, when I awake, with thy likeness.

Oskyldigt förföljd
17 (A) En bön av David.
Herre, hör en rättfärdig sak!
Lyssna till mitt rop,
vänd ditt öra till min bön.
Den kommer inte
från falska läppar.
2 (B) Från dig kommer min dom,
dina ögon ser vad som är rätt.
3 (C) Du prövar mitt hjärta,
du utforskar det om natten,
du rannsakar mig
men finner inget.
Ingen ond tanke
går ut ur min mun.[a]
4 Vad människor än gör
aktar jag mig för
de våldsammas vägar
genom dina läppars ord.
5 (D) Mina steg går stadigt
på dina stigar,
mina fötter stapplar inte.
6 Jag ropar till dig, för du, Gud,
kommer att svara mig.
Vänd ditt öra till mig
och hör mina ord!
7 Visa din underbara nåd,
du som med din högra hand
frälser dem som flyr till dig
från sina förföljare.
8 (E) Bevara mig som din ögonsten,
beskydda mig
i dina vingars skugga
9 från de gudlösa
som vill förgöra mig,
från mina dödsfiender
som omringar mig.
10 (F) De stänger sitt förhärdade hjärta,
de tar stora ord i sin mun.
11 (G) Nu är de runt mig var vi än går,
de siktar med sina ögon
för att slå mig till marken.
12 (H) De liknar ett rovlystet lejon,
ett ungt lejon som ligger på lur.
13 Res dig, Herre!
Gå emot honom, slå ner honom!
Rädda min själ med ditt svärd
från den gudlöse,
14 (I) med din hand från människorna,
Herre,
från denna världens människor
som har sin del i detta livet.
Du fyller deras buk
med dina gåvor,
de har söner i mängd
och lämnar sitt överflöd
till sina barn.
15 (J) Men jag ska få se ditt ansikte
i rättfärdighet,
jag ska mättas av din åsyn
när jag vaknar.

Psalm 17
A prayer of David.
1 Hear me,(A) Lord, my plea is just;
listen to my cry.(B)
Hear(C) my prayer—
it does not rise from deceitful lips.(D)
2 Let my vindication(E) come from you;
may your eyes see what is right.(F)
3 Though you probe my heart,(G)
though you examine me at night and test me,(H)
you will find that I have planned no evil;(I)
my mouth has not transgressed.(J)
4 Though people tried to bribe me,
I have kept myself from the ways of the violent
through what your lips have commanded.
5 My steps have held to your paths;(K)
my feet have not stumbled.(L)
6 I call on you, my God, for you will answer me;(M)
turn your ear to me(N) and hear my prayer.(O)
7 Show me the wonders of your great love,(P)
you who save by your right hand(Q)
those who take refuge(R) in you from their foes.
8 Keep me(S) as the apple of your eye;(T)
hide me(U) in the shadow of your wings(V)
9 from the wicked who are out to destroy me,
from my mortal enemies who surround me.(W)
10 They close up their callous hearts,(X)
and their mouths speak with arrogance.(Y)
11 They have tracked me down, they now surround me,(Z)
with eyes alert, to throw me to the ground.
12 They are like a lion(AA) hungry for prey,(AB)
like a fierce lion crouching in cover.
13 Rise up,(AC) Lord, confront them, bring them down;(AD)
with your sword rescue me from the wicked.
14 By your hand save me from such people, Lord,
from those of this world(AE) whose reward is in this life.(AF)
May what you have stored up for the wicked fill their bellies;
may their children gorge themselves on it,
and may there be leftovers(AG) for their little ones.
