Psalms 17 — Context

As for the works of men, by the word of your lips I have kept myself from the ways of the violent.

I have kept my feet in your ways, my steps have not been turned away.

My cry has gone up to you, for you will give me an answer, O God: let your ear be turned to me, and give attention to my words.

Make clear the wonder of your mercy, O saviour of those who put their faith in your right hand, from those who come out against them.

Keep me as the light of your eyes, covering me with the shade of your wings,

From the evil-doers who are violent to me, and from those who are round me, desiring my death.

They are shut up in their fat: with their mouths they say words of pride.
