Psa 17:2 Let my judgment come forth from Your presence; Let Your eyes look with equity.

Psa 17:3 You have tried my heart; You have visited me by night; You have tested me and You find nothing; I have purposed that my mouth will not transgress.

Psa 17:4 As for the deeds of men, by the word of Your lips I have kept from the paths of the violent.

Psa 17:5 My steps have held fast to Your paths. My feet have not slipped.

Psa 17:6 I have called upon You, for You will answer me, O God; Incline Your ear to me, hear my speech.

Psa 17:7 Wondrously show Your lovingkindness, O Savior of those who take refuge at Your right hand From those who rise up against them.

Psa 17:8 Keep me as the apple of the eye; Hide me in the shadow of Your wings

Psa 17:9 From the wicked who despoil me, My deadly enemies who surround me.

Psa 17:10 They have closed their unfeeling heart, With their mouth they speak proudly.

Psa 17:11 They have now surrounded us in our steps; They set their eyes to cast us down to the ground.

Psa 17:12 He is like a lion that is eager to tear, And as a young lion lurking in hiding places.

Psa 17:13 Arise, O Lord, confront him, bring him low; Deliver my soul from the wicked with Your sword,

Psa 17:14 From men with Your hand, O Lord, From men of the world, whose portion is in this life, And whose belly You fill with Your treasure; They are satisfied with children, And leave their abundance to their babes.

Psa 17:15 As for me, I shall behold Your face in righteousness; I will be satisfied with Your likeness when I awake.

--------

Psa 35:1 Contend, O Lord, with those who contend with me; Fight against those who fight against me.

Psa 35:2 Take hold of buckler and shield And rise up for my help.

Psa 35:3 Draw also the spear and the battle-axe to meet those who pursue me; Say to my soul, "I am your salvation."

Psa 35:4 Let those be ashamed and dishonored who seek my life; Let those be turned back and humiliated who devise evil against me.

Psa 35:5 Let them be like chaff before the wind, With the angel of the Lord driving them on.

Psa 35:6 Let their way be dark and slippery, With the angel of the Lord pursuing them.

Psa 35:7 For without cause they hid their net for me; Without cause they dug a pit for my soul.

Psa 35:8 Let destruction come upon him unawares, And let the net which he hid catch himself; Into that very destruction let him fall.

Psa 35:9 And my soul shall rejoice in the Lord; It shall exult in His salvation.

Psa 35:10 All my bones will say, "Lord, who is like You, Who delivers the afflicted from him who is too strong for him, And the afflicted and the needy from him who robs him?"

Psa 35:11 Malicious witnesses rise up; They ask me of things that I do not know.

Psa 35:12 They repay me evil for good, To the bereavement of my soul.

Psa 35:13 But as for me, when they were sick, my clothing was sackcloth; I humbled my soul with fasting, And my prayer kept returning to my bosom.

Psa 35:14 I went about as though it were my friend or brother; I bowed down mourning, as one who sorrows for a mother.

Psa 35:15 But at my stumbling they rejoiced and gathered themselves together; The smiters whom I did not know gathered together against me, They slandered me without ceasing.

Psa 35:16 Like godless jesters at a feast, They gnashed at me with their teeth.

Psa 35:17 Lord, how long will You look on? Rescue my soul from their ravages, My only life from the lions.

Psa 35:18 I will give You thanks in the great congregation; I will praise You among a mighty throng.

Psa 35:19 Do not let those who are wrongfully my enemies rejoice over me; Nor let those who hate me without cause wink maliciously.

Psa 35:20 For they do not speak peace, But they devise deceitful words against those who are quiet in the land.

Psa 35:21 They opened their mouth wide against me; They said, "Aha, aha, our eyes have seen it!"

Psa 35:22 You have seen it, O Lord, do not keep silent; O Lord, do not be far from me.

Psa 35:23 Stir up Yourself, and awake to my right And to my cause, my God and my Lord.

Psa 35:24 Judge me, O Lord my God, according to Your righteousness, And do not let them rejoice over me.

Psa 35:25 Do not let them say in their heart, "Aha, our desire!" Do not let them say, "We have swallowed him up!"

Psa 35:26 Let those be ashamed and humiliated altogether who rejoice at my distress; Let those be clothed with shame and dishonor who magnify themselves over me.

Psa 35:27 Let them shout for joy and rejoice, who favor my vindication; And let them say continually, "The Lord be magnified, Who delights in the prosperity of His servant."

Psa 35:28 And my tongue shall declare Your righteousness And Your praise all day long.

--------

Psa 54:1 Save me, O God, by Your name, And vindicate me by Your power.

Psa 54:2 Hear my prayer, O God; Give ear to the words of my mouth.

Psa 54:3 For strangers have risen against me And violent men have sought my life; They have not set God before them. Selah.

Psa 54:4 Behold, God is my helper; The Lord is the sustainer of my soul.

Psa 54:5 He will recompense the evil to my foes; Destroy them in Your faithfulness.

Psa 54:6 Willingly I will sacrifice to You; I will give thanks to Your name, O Lord, for it is good.

Psa 54:7 For He has delivered me from all trouble, And my eye has looked with satisfaction upon my enemies.

--------

Psa 63:1 O God, You are my God; I shall seek You earnestly; My soul thirsts for You, my flesh yearns for You, In a dry and weary land where there is no water.

Psa 63:2 Thus I have seen You in the sanctuary, To see Your power and Your glory.

Psa 63:3 Because Your lovingkindness is better than life, My lips will praise You.

Psa 63:4 So I will bless You as long as I live; I will lift up my hands in Your name.

Psa 63:5 My soul is satisfied as with marrow and fatness, And my mouth offers praises with joyful lips.

Psa 63:6 When I remember You on my bed, I meditate on You in the night watches,

Psa 63:7 For You have been my help, And in the shadow of Your wings I sing for joy.

Psa 63:8 My soul clings to You; Your right hand upholds me.

Psa 63:9 But those who seek my life to destroy it, Will go into the depths of the earth.

Psa 63:10 They will be delivered over to the power of the sword; They will be a prey for foxes.

Psa 63:11 But the king will rejoice in God; Everyone who swears by Him will glory, For the mouths of those who speak lies will be stopped.
