Psalm 17
Kies een berijming om te vergelijken
Vers 1
unto my pray’r give heed,
That doth not in hypocrisy
from feigned lips proceed.
Vers 2
my sentence do thou send:
Toward these things that equal are
do thou thine eyes intend.
Vers 3
by night, thou didst me try,
Yet nothing found’st; for that my mouth
shall not sin, purpos’d I.
Vers 4
that from thy lips doth flow,
Did me preserve out of the paths
wherein destroyers go.
Vers 5
in those thy paths divine,
So that my footsteps may not slide
out of those ways of thine.
Vers 6
because thou wilt me hear:
That thou may’st hearken to my speech,
to me incline thine ear.
Vers 7
thou that, by thy right hand,
Sav’st them that trust in thee from those
that up against them stand.
Vers 8
in thy wings shade me close
From lewd oppressors, compassing
me round, as deadly foes.
Vers 9
their mouth speaks loftily.
Our steps they compass’d; and to ground
down bowing set their eye.
Vers 10
that’s greedy of his prey,
Or lion young, which lurking doth
in secret places stay.
Vers 11
and cast him down,
O Lord: My soul save from the wicked man,
the man which is thy sword.
Vers 12
from worldly men me save,
Which only in this present life
their part and portion have.
Vers 13
thou fill’st: they children have
In plenty; of their goods the rest
they to their children leave.
Vers 14
in righteousness will see;
And with thy likeness, when I wake,
I satisfy’d shall be.
