Psalm 17 is David’s covenant prayer for vindication - a man who defends his own heart before God and ends not with military conquest but with the quietest possible hope: waking to see the face of God.
Full sung version coming soon.
Lyrics
Hear, LORD, my righteous plea Give ear to my prayer
That doesn’t go out of deceitful lips Let my sentence come out of your presence Let your eyes look on equity You have proved my heart
You have visited me in the night You have tried me and found nothing I have resolved that my mouth
Shall not disobey As for the deeds of men By the word of your lips I have kept myself from the ways
Of the violent My steps have held fast to your paths My feet have not slipped I have called on you
For you will answer me, God Turn your ear to me Hear my speech Show your marvellous loving kindness
You who save those who take refuge By your right hand from their enemies Keep me as the apple of your eye Hide me under the shadow of your wings
I shall see your face in righteousness I shall be satisfied when I awake With seeing your form As for me, I shall see your face
In righteousness
