Psalm 17 | Hear a Just Cause (MSAL)

Hear a just cause, O my Lord
Give to Your man his right reward, O Lord
Hear a just cause, O Lord

Turn Your face and fix your eyes
See my lips that they’re free of lies, O Lord
Hear a just cause, O Lord

Try my heart and find that it’s right
Watch my life both day and night
From first to last my feet hold fast to Your ways
Seek me, save me, show me Your love
Spread your wings around me, Lord, from above, O Lord
Hear a just cause, O Lord

My enemy has closed his heart
He’s gonna knock me down, gonna tear me apart, O Lord
Hear a just cause, O Lord

Hear a just cause, O my Lord
Deliver my soul, unleash Your sword, O Lord
Hear a just cause, O Lord

I’m looking to You in the time of my need
Answer me, Lord, You who listen to me
The wicked lurks like a lion deep in his hiding place
Seek me, save me, don’t let me die
Keep me as the apple, Lord, of Your eye, O Lord
Hear a just cause, O Lord

Bowing down to their golden cows
Men are trying to have their best life now, O Lord
Hear a just cause, O Lord

As for me I have not slipped
You’ve been holding me fast by the word of Your lips, O Lord
Hear a just cause, O Lord

Try my heart, find that it’s right
Watch my life both day and night
From first to last, my feet hold fast to Your ways
Seek me, save me, show me Your face
I’ll be happy in You when I awake, O Lord
Hear a just cause, O Lord

I’m looking to You in the time of my need
Answer me, Lord, You who listen to me
The wicked lurks like a lion deep in his hiding place
Seek me, save me, show me Your love
Spread your wings around me, Lord, from above, O Lord
Hear a just cause, O Lord

I’m looking to You in the time of my need
Answer me, Lord, You who listen to me
The wicked lurks like a lion deep in his hiding place
Seek me, save me, don’t let me die
Keep me as the apple, Lord, of Your eye, O Lord
Hear a just cause, O Lord

O Lord
Hear a just cause, O Lord
