Reading Psalms chapter 17 in the Webster's Bible, public-domain text from 1833.
Verses 1–10
1 A Prayer of David. Hear the right, O LORD, attend to my cry, give ear to my prayer, [that goeth] not out of feigned lips.
2 Let my sentence come forth from thy presence; let thy eyes behold the things that are equal.
3 Thou hast proved my heart; thou hast visited [me] in the night; thou hast tried me, [and] shalt find nothing; I have purposed [that] my mouth shall not transgress.
4 Concerning the works of men, by the word of thy lips I have kept [me from] the paths of the destroyer.
5 Uphold my goings in thy paths, [that] my footsteps slip not.
6 I have called upon thee, for thou wilt hear me, O God: incline thy ear to me, [and hear] my speech.
7 Show thy wonderful loving-kindness, O thou that savest by thy right hand them who put their trust [in thee] from those that rise up [against them].
8 Keep me as the apple of the eye, hide me under the shade of thy wings.
9 From the wicked that oppress me, [from] my deadly enemies, [who] encompass me,
10 They are inclosed in their own fat: with their mouth they speak proudly.
