Psalms 17:1-6 Contemporary English Version Anglicised (CEVUK00)

1. I am innocent, Lord!Won't you listen as I prayand beg for help?I am honest!Please hear my prayer.

3. You know my heart,and even during the nightyou have tested meand found me innocent.I have made up my mindnever to tell a lie.

4. I don't do like others.I obey your teachingsand am not cruel.

5. I have followed you,without ever stumbling.

6. I pray to you, God,because you will help me.Listen and answer my prayer!
