Psalms of David - Modern Translation - Psalm 17

O Lord, hear my prayer,
for my heart seeks what is right.

You have tested my thoughts,
and You know the sincerity of my soul.

I have walked in Your ways, O God,
and Your love has been my guide.

I call upon You, knowing You will answer,
for You listen with kindness and grace.

Show me Your unfailing love, O Lord,
for You are the refuge of those who trust in You.

Keep me as the apple of Your eye;
hide me in the shadow of Your wings.

Even when trouble surrounds me,
I will not be afraid, for You are with me.

When I awake, I will see Your face,
and I will be satisfied in Your presence forever.
