Psalms 17:7-15 Contemporary English Version Anglicised (CEVUK00)

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.

9. Don't let my brutal enemiesattack from all sidesand kill me.

10. They refuse to show mercy,and they keep boasting.

11. They have caught up with me!My enemies are everywhere,eagerly hoping to pull meto the ground.

12. They are like hungry lionshunting for food,or like young lionshiding in ambush.

13. Do something, Lord!Attack and defeat them.Take your sword and save mefrom those evil people.

14. Use your powerful armand rescue mefrom the hands of mere humanswhose world won't last.You provide foodfor those you love.Their children have plenty,and their grandchildrenwill have more than enough.

15. I am innocent, Lord,and I will see your face!When I awake, all I wantis to see you as you are.
