Praying Psalm 17

Heavenly Father,

I come before You with confidence, knowing that You hear my cry for justice and righteousness. You are the righteous Judge, and I trust in Your unfailing love and faithfulness. Examine my heart Lord, and test me; refine me like silver and gold. Keep me from evil and lead me in Your ways, that I may walk blamelessly before You.

I call upon You my God, for You will answer me; incline Your ear to me and hear my prayer. Show me the wonders of Your great love and save me from those who rise up against me. Protect me as the apple of Your eye; hide me in the shadow of Your wings from the wicked who attack me.

Guard me from the schemes of the enemy and deliver me from their grasp. But as for me, I will see Your face in righteousness; when I awake, I will be satisfied with beholding Your likeness. Strengthen me to endure my Lord, and let Your light shine upon me.

Thank You Lord, for Your faithfulness and Your steadfast love that never fails. I trust in Your promises and I rest in Your presence. In Jesus' name, I pray, Amen.
