New Testament

Psalms 17:1-11 New Century Version (NCV)

1. Lord, hear me begging for fairness;listen to my cry for help.Pay attention to my prayer,because I speak the truth.

2. You will judge that I am right;your eyes can see what is true.

3. You have examined my heart;you have tested me all night.You questioned me without finding anything wrong;I have not sinned with my mouth.

4. I have obeyed your commands,so I have not done what evil people do.

5. I have done what you told me;I have not failed.

6. I call to you, God,and you answer me.Listen to me now,and hear what I say.

7. Your love is wonderful.By your power you save those who trust youfrom their enemies.

8. Protect me as you would protect your own eye.Hide me under the shadow of your wings.

9. Keep me from the wicked who attack me,from my enemies who surround me.

10. They are selfishand brag about themselves.

11. They have chased me until they have surrounded me.They plan to throw me to the ground.
