Psalm 17
New American Standard Bible
Prayer for Protection against Oppressors.
A Prayer of David.
17 Hear a (A)just cause, Lord, (B)give Your attention to my cry;
(C)Listen to my prayer, which is not from (D)deceitful lips.
2 Let (E)my [a]judgment come forth from Your presence;
Let Your eyes look with (F)integrity.
3 You have (G)put my heart to the test;
You have visited me by night;
You have (H)sifted me and (I)You find [b]nothing;
My (J)intent is that my mouth will not offend.
4 As for the works of mankind, (K)by the word of Your lips
I have kept from the (L)ways of the violent.
5 My (M)steps have held to Your [c]paths.
My (N)feet have not slipped.
6 I have (O)called upon You, for You will answer me, God;
(P)Incline Your ear to me, hear my speech.
7 (Q)Show Your wonderful faithfulness,
(R)Savior of those who take refuge [d]at Your right hand
From those who rise up against them.
8 Keep me as [e]the (S)apple of the eye;
Hide me (T)in the shadow of Your wings
9 From the (U)wicked who deal violently with me,
My (V)deadly enemies who surround me.
10 They have (W)closed their [f]unfeeling hearts,
With their mouths they (X)speak proudly.
11 They have now (Y)surrounded us in our steps;
They set their eyes (Z)to cast us down to the ground.
12 He is (AA)like a lion that is eager to tear,
And as a young lion (AB)lurking in secret places.
13 (AC)Arise, Lord, confront him, (AD)make him bow down;
(AE)Save my soul from the wicked with (AF)Your sword,
14 From people by (AG)Your hand, Lord,
From people [g]of the world, (AH)whose portion is in this life,
And whose belly You (AI)fill with Your treasure;
They are satisfied with children,
And leave their abundance to their babies.
15 As for me, I shall (AJ)behold Your face in righteousness;
(AK)I shall be satisfied with Your (AL)likeness when I awake.

Chinese New Version (Simplified)
无辜人祈求 神保护
大卫的祷告。
17 耶和华啊!求你垂听我公义的案件,
倾听我的申诉;
求你留心听我的祷告,
这不是出于诡诈嘴唇的祷告。(本节在《马索拉文本》包括细字标题)
2 愿我的判词从你面前发出,
愿你的眼睛察看正直的事。
3 你试验了我的心,在夜间鉴察了我;
你熬炼了我,还是找不到甚么,
因为我立志使我的口没有过犯。
4 至于世人的行为,
我借着你嘴唇所出的话,保护了自己,
不行强暴人的道路。
5 我的脚步稳踏在你的路径上,
我的两脚没有动摇。
6 神啊!我向你呼求,因为你必应允我;
求你侧耳听我,垂听我的祷告。
7 求你把你的慈爱奇妙地彰显,
用右手拯救那些投靠你的,
脱离那些起来攻击他们的。
8 求你保护我,像保护眼中的瞳人,
把我隐藏在你的翅膀荫下;
9 使我脱离那些欺压我的恶人,
脱离那些围绕我的死敌。
10 他们闭塞了怜悯的心(“怜悯的心”原文作“他们的脂油”),
口里说出骄傲的话。
11 他们追踪我,现在把我围困了(“他们追踪我,现在把我围困了”原文作“他们围困了我们的脚步”);
他们瞪着眼,要把我推倒在地上。
12 他们像急于撕碎猎物的狮子,
又像蹲伏在隐密处的幼狮。
13 耶和华啊!求你起来,迎面攻击他们,把他们打倒;
用你的刀救我的命脱离恶人。
14 耶和华啊!求你用手救我脱离世人,
脱离那些只在今生有分的世人。
求你用你为他们储存的充满他们的肚腹,
使他们的儿女都可以饱尝,
他们还有剩余的留给他们的子孙。
15 至于我,我必在义中得见你的面;
我醒来的时候,
得见你的形象就心满意足。
