17:1  A prayer of David. Lord, hear me begging for fairness; listen to my cry for help. Pay attention to my prayer, because I speak the truth.
17:2  You will judge that I am right; your eyes can see what is true.
17:3  You have examined my heart; you have tested me all night. You questioned me without finding anything wrong; I have not sinned with my mouth.
17:4  I have obeyed your commands, so I have not done what evil people do.
17:5  I have done what you told me; I have not failed.
17:6  I call to you, God, and you answer me. Listen to me now, and hear what I say.
17:7  Your love is wonderful. By your power you save those who trust you from their enemies.
17:8  Protect me as you would protect your own eye. Hide me under the shadow of your wings.
17:9  Keep me from the wicked who attack me, from my enemies who surround me.
17:10  They are selfish and brag about themselves.
17:11  They have chased me until they have surrounded me. They plan to throw me to the ground.
17:12  They are like lions ready to kill; like lions, they sit in hiding.
17:13  Lord, rise up, face the enemy, and throw them down. Save me from the wicked with your sword.
17:14  Lord, save me by your power from those whose reward is in this life. They have plenty of food. They have many sons and leave much money to their children.
17:15  Because I have lived right, I will see your face. When I wake up, I will see your likeness and be satisfied.
