Psalm 17:1-5 NIRV

Psalm 17:1-5

Psalm 17

A prayer of David.

Lord, hear me, because I ask for what is right.

Listen to my cry for help.

Hear my prayer.

It doesn’t come from lips that tell lies.

When you hand down your sentence, may it be in my favor.

May your eyes see what is right.

Look deep down into my heart.

Study me carefully at night and test me.

You won’t find anything wrong.

I have planned nothing evil.

My mouth has not said sinful things.

Though evil people tried to pay me to do wrong,

I have not done what they wanted.

Instead I have done what you commanded.

My steps have stayed on your paths.

My feet have not slipped.
