PSALM 17 Verses 1-7 Sung to BANGOR CCLI #977558
Give ear to what is right, O Lord! O listen to my cry! Give heed to this my earnest prayer From lips which do not lie.
May judgment from Your presence come Which will me vindicate, And always may Your searching eyes See what is just and straight
For You have scrutinized my heart; You came to me by night You’ve probed and found no ill intent; My mouth speaks only right.
From acts of men, from violence, I’m guarded by Your word; My steps held closely to Your paths; My footsteps have not erred.
On You, O God, my soul has called, For You will answer me. O listen to my earnest words! Incline Your ear to me!
In wondrous ways You mercy show, O You preserving those Who seek to find at Your right hand A refuge from their foes.
PSALM 17 Verses 8-15 Sung to BANGOR CCLI #977558
Keep me the pupil of Your eye; Beneath Your wings me hide From wicked men and deadly foes Who press on every side.
They are enclosed in their own fat; Their boasting words abound. They compass us and fix their eyes To cast us to the ground.
My enemy’s a lion strong That craves to tear his prey. He’s like a lion young that lurks In ambush every day.
Arise, O Lord. Comfort my foe. O bring him very low! O save my soul from wicked men! Let them feel Your sword’s blow.
Save me by Your own hand, O Lord, From worldly men of earth, Who only in this present life Know anything of worth.
You filled them with the wealth You stored, Their children satisfied; So they may leave enough behind Their young ones to provide.
But as for me, with righteousness Shall I behold Your face. I shall be satisfied to wake And see You face to face.
