Psalm 17:4: As to doings of man, Through a word of Thy lips I have observed The paths of a destroyer; Psalm 17:5: To uphold my goings in Thy paths, My steps have not slidden. Psalm 17:6: I &#8212; I called Thee, for Thou dost answer me, O God, incline Thine ear to me, hear my speech.

Deliver my soul from the wicked, Thy sword, Psalm 17:14: From men, Thy hand, O Jehovah, From men of the world, their portion is in life, And with Thy hidden things Thou fillest their belly, They are satisfied with sons; And have left their abundance to their sucklings. Psalm 17:15: I &#8212; in righteousness, I see Thy face; I am satisfied, in awaking, with Thy form!
