"Make a just decision on my behalf! Decide what is right!"
— Psalms 17:2, NET Bible
“Let my sentence come forth from thy presence; let thine eyes behold the things that are equal.”
“Let my sentence come forth from thy presence; Let thine eyes look upon equity. ”
“Let my sentence come forth from your presence. Let your eyes look on equity.”
“I will love thee, O Lord, my strength:”
“Be my judge; for your eyes see what is right.”
“Let my sentence come forth from thy presence; let thine eyes behold the things that are equal.”
A prayer of David. LORD, consider my just cause! Pay attention to my cry for help! Listen to the prayer I sincerely offer!
Make a just decision on my behalf! Decide what is right!
You have scrutinized my inner motives; you have examined me during the night. You have carefully evaluated me, but you find no sin. I am determined I will say nothing sinful.
As for the actions of people– just as you have commanded, I have not followed in the footsteps of violent men.
I carefully obey your commands; I do not deviate from them.
