King James Version with Apocrypha
"Concerning the works of men, by the word of thy lips I have kept me from the paths of the destroyer."
— Psalms 17:4, King James Version with Apocrypha
“Concerning the works of men, by the word of thy lips I have kept me from the paths of the destroyer.”
“As for the works of men, by the word of thy lips I have kept me from the ways of the violent. ”
“As for the works of men, by the word of your lips, I have kept myself from the ways of the violent.”
“As for the actions of people– just as you have commanded, I have not followed in the footsteps of violent men.”
“Praising, I will call upon the Lord: and I shall be saved from my enemies.”
“As for the works of men, by the word of your lips I have kept myself from the ways of the violent.”
Hear the right, O Lord, attend unto my cry, give ear unto my prayer, that goeth not out of feigned lips.
Let my sentence come forth from thy presence; let thine eyes behold the things that are equal.
Thou hast proved mine heart; thou hast visited me in the night; thou hast tried me, and shalt find nothing; I am purposed that my mouth shall not transgress.
Concerning the works of men, by the word of thy lips I have kept me from the paths of the destroyer.
Hold up my goings in thy paths, that my footsteps slip not.
I have called upon thee, for thou wilt hear me, O God: incline thine ear unto me, and hear my speech.
Shew thy marvellous lovingkindness, O thou that savest by thy right hand them which put their trust in thee from those that rise up against them.
