Psalm 17
Psalm 17
Hear, O LORD, my righteous plea;
listen to my cry.
Give ear to my prayer—
it comes from lips free of deceit.
May my vindication come from Your presence;
may Your eyes see what is right.








For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. Romans 6:23

Hear, O LORD, my righteous plea;
listen to my cry.
Give ear to my prayer—
it comes from lips free of deceit.
May my vindication come from Your presence;
may Your eyes see what is right.

Why, O LORD, do You stand far off?
Why do You hide in times of trouble?
In pride the wicked pursue the needy;
let them be caught in the schemes they devise.
For the wicked man boasts in the cravings of his heart;
he blesses the greedy and reviles the LORD.

Every wise woman builds her house,
but a foolish one tears it down with her own hands.
He who walks in uprightness fears the LORD,
but the one who is devious in his ways despises Him.

{A Psalm of David.} The earth is the LORD’S, and the fulness thereof; the world, and they that dwell therein.
For he hath founded it upon the seas, and established it upon the floods.
Who shall ascend into the hill of the LORD? or who shall stand in his holy place?

I give you thanks, O LORD, with my whole heart;
before the gods I sing your praise;
I bow down toward your holy temple
and give thanks to your name for your steadfast love and your faithfulness,
for you have exalted above all things
your name and your word.
