Psalms 17:1-8 Contemporary English Version Anglicised (CEVUK00)

1. I am innocent, Lord!Won't you listen as I prayand beg for help?I am honest!Please hear my prayer.

2. Only you can saythat I am innocent,because only your eyescan see the truth.

3. You know my heart,and even during the nightyou have tested meand found me innocent.I have made up my mindnever to tell a lie.

4. I don't do like others.I obey your teachingsand am not cruel.

5. I have followed you,without ever stumbling.

6. I pray to you, God,because you will help me.Listen and answer my prayer!

7. Show your wonderful love.Your mighty arm protects thosewho run to you for safetyfrom their enemies.

8. Protect me as you wouldyour very own eyes;hide me in the shadowof your wings.
