Psalm 17

Hear, O LORD, my righteous plea; listen to my cry.  Give ear to my prayer - it does not rise from deceitful lips.  May my vindication come from you; may your eyes see what is right.  You still the hunger of those you cherish;...their sons have plenty, and they store up wealth for their children.  And  I - in righteousness I will see your face; when I awake, I will be satisfied with seeing your likeness.
Psalm 17 NIV

PRAYER (inspired by Psalm 17)

Lord, in all honesty I pray to you.
You have my back and you know the truth.
My heart and life lay bare before You, so I will be wise and follow You.
Because You teach me your ways, I won't be like those that don't know you.

Like David prayed, I'm on solid ground.
Hear me when I pray.
Show the world You are my defender, You love me like a son.
I'm kept safe as someone protects the pupil of their eye.

My enemies are only human, just listen to them talk.
Like predators looking for a meal.
I'll remind myself that You are my helper.
You refresh me, You care for my children, You will walk with me forever.
Amen.
