Psalms 17:3-9 New American Bible, Revised Edition (NABRE)

3. You have tested my heart,searched it in the night.You have tried me by fire,but find no malice in me.My mouth has not transgressed

4. as others often do.As your lips have instructed me,I have kept from the way of the lawless.

5. My steps have kept to your paths;my feet have not faltered.

6. I call upon you; answer me, O God.Turn your ear to me; hear my speech.

7. Show your wonderful mercy,you who deliver with your right armthose who seek refuge from their foes.

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

9. from the wicked who despoil me.My ravenous enemies press upon me;
