== Tehillim (Book of Psalms), Chapter 17 ==

<named id="1"/>1 A Prayer of David. Hear the right, O HaShem, attend unto my cry; give ear unto my prayer from lips without deceit.

<named id="2"/>2 Let my judgment come forth from Thy presence; let Thine eyes behold equity.

<named id="3"/>3 Thou hast tried my heart, Thou hast visited it in the night; Thou hast tested me, and Thou findest not that I had a thought which should not pass my mouth.

<named id="4"/>4 As for the doings of men, by the word of Thy lips I have kept me from the ways of the violent.

<named id="5"/>5 My steps have held fast to Thy paths, my feet have not slipped.

<named id="6"/>6 As for me, I call upon Thee, for Thou wilt answer me, O G-d; incline Thine ear unto me, hear my speech.

<named id="7"/>7 Make passing great Thy mercies, O Thou that savest by Thy right hand from assailants them that take refuge in Thee.

<named id="8"/>8 Keep me as the apple of the eye, hide me in the shadow of Thy wings,

<named id="9"/>9 From the wicked that oppress, my deadly enemies, that compass me about.

<named id="10"/>10 Their gross heart they have shut tight, with their mouth they speak proudly.

<named id="11"/>11 At our every step they have now encompassed us; they set their eyes to cast us down to the earth.

<named id="12"/>12 He is like a lion that is eager to tear in pieces, and like a young lion lurking in secret places.

<named id="13"/>13 Arise, O HaShem, confront him, cast him down; deliver my soul from the wicked, by Thy sword;

<named id="14"/>14 From men, by Thy hand, O HaShem, from men of the world, whose portion is in this life, and whose belly Thou fillest with Thy treasure; who have children in plenty, and leave their abundance to their babes.

<named id="15"/>15 As for me, I shall behold Thy face in righteousness; I shall be satisfied, when I awake, with Thy likeness.
