Psalms Scripture Reading - Psalm 17:1-5

Psalm 17:1-5 Holman Christian Standard Bible

A Davidic prayer.

Lord, hear a just cause;

pay attention to my cry;

listen to my prayer—

from lips free of deceit.

Let my vindication come from You,

for You see what is right.

You have tested my heart;

You have examined me at night.

You have tried me and found nothing evil;

I have determined that my mouth will not sin.

Concerning what people do:

by the word of Your lips

I have avoided the ways of the violent.

My steps are on Your paths;

my feet have not slipped.
