New Testament

Psalm 17:22-37 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

22. For I have preserved the ways of the Lord, and I have not behaved impiously before my God.

23. For all his judgments are in my sight, and his justice, I have not pushed away from me.

24. And I will be immaculate together with him, and I will keep myself from my iniquity.

25. And the Lord will reward me according to my justice and according to the purity of my hands before his eyes.

26. With the holy, you will be holy, and with the innocent, you will be innocent,

27. and with the elect, you will be elect, and with the perverse, you will be perverse.

28. For you will save the humble people, but you will bring down the eyes of the arrogant.

29. For you illuminate my lamp, O Lord. My God, enlighten my darkness.

30. For in you, I will be delivered from temptation; and with my God, I will climb over a wall.

31. As for my God, his way is undefiled. The eloquence of the Lord has been examined by fire. He is the protector of all who hope in him.

32. For who is God, except the Lord? And who is God, except our God?

33. It is God who has wrapped me with virtue and made my way immaculate.

34. It is he who has perfected my feet, like the feet of deer, and who stations me upon the heights.

35. It is he who trains my hands for battle. And you have set my arms like a bow of brass.

36. And you have given me the protection of your salvation. And your right hand sustains me. And your discipline has corrected me unto the end. And your discipline itself will teach me.

37. You have expanded my footsteps under me, and my tracks have not been weakened.
