Psalms 17
Brenton 1851 translation with original translator material, eBible HTML edition
40 For thou hast girded me with strength for war: thou hast beaten down under me all that rose up against me.
41 And thou hast made mine enemies turn their backs before me; and thou hast destroyed them that hated me.
42 They cried, but there was no deliverer: even to the Lord, but he hearkened not to them.
43 I will grind them as the mud of the streets: and I will beat them small as dust before the wind.
44 Deliver me from the gainsayings of the people: thou shalt make me head of the Gentiles: a people whom I knew not served me,
45 at the hearing of the ear they obeyed me: the strange children †lied to me.
46 The strange children waxed old, and fell away from their paths through lameness.
47 The Lord lives; and blessed be my God; and let the God of my salvation be exalted.
48 It is God that avenges me, and has subdued the nations under me;
49 my deliverer from angry enemies: thou shalt set me on high ‡above them that rise up against me: thou shalt deliver me from the unrighteous man.
50 Therefore will I confess to thee, O Lord, among the Gentiles, and sing to thy name.
51 God magnifies the deliverances of his king; and deals mercifully with David his anointed, and his seed, for ever.
