PSALMS 17:1-7

In the Shadow of Your Wings

A Prayer of David.
17:1

Hear a just cause, O Lord; attend to my cry!

Give ear to my prayer from lips free of deceit! 2

From your presence let my vindication come!

Let your eyes behold the right!
3

You have tried my heart, you have visited me by night,

you have tested me, and you will find nothing;

I have purposed that my mouth will not transgress. 4

With regard to the works of man, by the word of your lips

I have avoided the ways of the violent. 5

My steps have held fast to your paths;

my feet have not slipped.
6

I call upon you, for you will answer me, O God;

incline your ear to me; hear my words. 7

Wondrously show your steadfast love,

O Savior of those who seek refuge

from their adversaries at your right hand.
