Psalms 15-17
Chapter 15
Description of a Citizen of Zion.
1 LORD, who may reside (C1)in Your tent?
Who may settle on Your (C2)holy hill?
2 One who (C1)walks with integrity, practices righteousness,
And (C2)speaks truth in his heart.
3 He (C1)does not slander (F1)with his tongue,
Nor (C2)do evil to his neighbor,
Nor (C3)bring shame on his friend;
4 A despicable person is despised in his eyes,
But he (C1)honors those who fear the LORD;
He (C2)takes an oath to his own detriment, and does not change;
5 He (C1)does not (F1)lend his money (F2)at interest,
Nor (C2)does he take a bribe against the innocent.
(C3)One who does these things will never be shaken.
Chapter 16
The LORD, the Psalmist's Portion in Life and Salvation in Death.
1 (C1)Protect me, God, for (C2)I take refuge in You.
2 (F1)I said to the LORD, "You are (F2)my Lord;
I (C1)have nothing good besides You."
3 As for the (F1)(C1)saints who are on the earth,
(F2)They are the majestic ones; (C2)all my delight is in them.
4 (F1)The (C1)pains of those who have acquired another god will be multiplied;
I will not pour out their drink offerings of (C2)blood,
Nor will I (C3)take their names upon my lips.
5 The LORD is the (C1)portion of my inheritance and my (C2)cup;
You support my (C3)lot.
6 The measuring (C1)lines have fallen for me in pleasant places;
Indeed, my inheritance is (C2)beautiful to me.
7 I will bless the LORD who has (C1)advised me;
Indeed, my (F1)(C2)mind instructs me in the night.
8 (C1)I have (C2)set the LORD continually before me;
Because He is (C3)at my right hand, (C4)I will not be shaken.
9 Therefore (C1)my heart is glad and (C2)my glory rejoices;
My flesh also will (C3)dwell securely.
10 For You (C1)will not abandon my soul to (F1)Sheol;
You will not (F2)(C2)allow Your (F3)Holy One to (F4)undergo decay.
11 You will make known to me (C1)the way of life;
In (C2)Your presence is fullness of joy;
In Your right hand there are (C3)pleasures forever.
Chapter 17
Prayer for Protection against Oppressors.
1 Hear a (C1)just cause, LORD, (C2)give Your attention to my cry;
(C3)Listen to my prayer, which is not from (C4)deceitful lips.
2 Let (C1)my (F1)judgment come forth from Your presence;
Let Your eyes look with (C2)integrity.
3 You have (C1)put my heart to the test;
You have visited me by night;
You have (C2)sifted me and (C3)You find (F1)nothing;
My (C4)intent is that my mouth will not offend.
4 As for the works of mankind, (C1)by the word of Your lips
I have kept from the (C2)ways of the violent.
5 My (C1)steps have held to Your (F1)paths.
My (C2)feet have not slipped.
6 I have (C1)called upon You, for You will answer me, God;
(C2)Incline Your ear to me, hear my speech.
7 (C1)Show Your wonderful faithfulness,
(C2)Savior of those who take refuge (F1)at Your right hand
From those who rise up against them.
8 Keep me as (F1)the (C1)apple of the eye;
Hide me (C2)in the shadow of Your wings
9 From the (C1)wicked who deal violently with me,
My (C2)deadly enemies who surround me.
10 They have (C1)closed their (F1)unfeeling hearts,
With their mouths they (C2)speak proudly.
11 They have now (C1)surrounded us in our steps;
They set their eyes (C2)to cast us down to the ground.
12 He is (C1)like a lion that is eager to tear,
And as a young lion (C2)lurking in secret places.
13 (C1)Arise, LORD, confront him, (C2)make him bow down;
(C3)Save my soul from the wicked with (C4)Your sword,
14 From people by (C1)Your hand, LORD,
From people (F1)of the world, (C2)whose portion is in this life,
And whose belly You (C3)fill with Your treasure;
They are satisfied with children,
And leave their abundance to their babies.
15 As for me, I shall (C1)behold Your face in righteousness;
(C2)I shall be satisfied with Your (C3)likeness when I awake.
