- 0:03Speaker 1: Psalm seventeen, a prayer by David. Hear Yah, weigh my
- 0:08Speaker 1: righteous plea. Give ear to my prayer that doesn't go
- 0:12Speaker 1: out of deceitful lips. Let my sentence come forth from
- 0:15Speaker 1: your presence. Let your eyes look on equity. You have
- 0:19Speaker 1: proved my heart. You have visited me in the night.
- 0:22Speaker 1: You have tried me and found nothing. I have resolved
- 0:26Speaker 1: that my mouth shall not disobey as for the works
- 0:29Speaker 1: of men, by the word of your lips, I have
- 0:31Speaker 1: kept myself from the ways of the violent. My steps
- 0:35Speaker 1: have held fast to your past. My feet have not slipped.
- 0:39Speaker 1: I have called on you, for you will answer me. God,
- 0:42Speaker 1: turn your ear to me. Hear my speech. Show your marvelous,
- 0:46Speaker 1: loving kindness, You who save those who take refuge by
- 0:50Speaker 1: your right hand from their enemies. Keep me as the
- 0:53Speaker 1: apple of your eye. Hide me under the shadow of
- 0:56Speaker 1: your wings from the wicked who oppresses me. My deadly
- 1:00Speaker 1: enemies who surround me, They close up their callss hearts
- 1:03Speaker 1: with their mouth. They speak proudly. They have now surrounded
- 1:07Speaker 1: us in our steps. They have set their eyes to
- 1:10Speaker 1: cast us down to the earth. He is like a
- 1:13Speaker 1: lion that is greedy of his prey as it were
- 1:15Speaker 1: a young lion lurking in secret places. Arise, Yahweh, confront him,
- 1:21Speaker 1: cast him down. Deliver my soul from the wicked by
- 1:24Speaker 1: your sword, from men by your hand, Yahweh. For men
- 1:28Speaker 1: of the world whose portion is in this life, you
- 1:32Speaker 1: feel the belly of your cherished ones. Your sons have plenty,
- 1:36Speaker 1: and they store up wealth for their children. As for me,
- 1:40Speaker 1: I shall see your face in righteousness. I shall be
- 1:43Speaker 1: satisfied when I awake with seeing your form.
