17:1 Hear a just cause, O LORD; attend to my cry; give ear to my prayer from lips free
of deceit.
17:2 From you let my vindication come; let your eyes see the right.
17:3 If you try my heart, if you visit me by night, if you test me, you will find no
wickedness in me; my mouth does not transgress.
17:4 As for what others do, by the word of your lips I have avoided the ways of the
violent.
17:5 My steps have held fast to your paths; my feet have not slipped.
17:6 I call upon you, for you will answer me, O God; incline your ear to me, hear my
words.
17:7 Wondrously show your steadfast love, O savior of those who seek refuge from their
adversaries at your right hand.
17:15 As for me, I shall behold your face in righteousness; when I awake I shall be
satisfied, beholding your likeness.
