Psalms 17

6 As for me, I have called on you

because you will answer me, O God.

Incline your ear to me.

Hear my words.*Hebrew "word"

7 Show wondrously your acts of loyal love,

O Savior of those who take refuge

at your right hand*Or "saving by your right hand those"

from those who rise up against them.

8 Keep me as the apple of your eye.*Literally "the little man of the daughter of your eye"

Hide me in the shadow of your wings

9 from the presence*Literally "face" of the wicked who destroy me,

those enemies against my life,

they that surround me.
