17A David prayer. Listen while I build my case, GOD, the most honest prayer you'll ever hear.H8605H1732H8085H6664H3068H7181H7440H238H8605H3808H4820H8193 2Show the world I'm innocent— in your heart you know I am.H4941H3318H6440H5869H2372H4339 3Go ahead, examine me from inside out, surprise me in the middle of the night— You'll find I'm just what I say I am. My words don't run loose.H974H3820H6485H3915H6884H4672H2161H6310H5674 4I'm not trying to get my way in the world's way. I'm trying to get your way, your Word's way.H6468H120H1697H8193H8104H734H6530 5I'm staying on your trail; I'm putting one foot In front of the other. I'm not giving up.H8551H838H4570H6471H4131 6I call to you, God, because I'm sure of an answer. So—answer! bend your ear! listen sharp!H7121H6030H410H5186H241H8085H565 7Paint grace-graffiti on the fences; take in your frightened children who Are running from the neighborhood bullies straight to you.H6395H2617H3467H3225H2620H6965 8Keep your eye on me; hide me under your cool wing feathersH8104H380H1323H5869H5641H6738H3671 9From the wicked who are out to get me, from mortal enemies closing in.H6440H7563H2098H7703H5315H341H5362 10Their hearts are hard as nails, their mouths blast hot air.H5462H2459H6310H1696H1348 11They are after me, nipping my heels, determined to bring me down,H5437H838H7896H5869H5186H776 12Lions ready to rip me apart, young lions poised to pounce.H1825H738H3700H2963H3715H3427H4565 13Up, GOD: beard them! break them! By your sword, free me from their clutches;H6965H3068H6923H6440H3766H6403H5315H7563H2719 14Barehanded, GOD, break these mortals, these flat-earth people who can't think beyond today. I'd like to see their bellies swollen with famine food, The weeds they've sown harvested and baked into famine bread, With second helpings for their children and crusts for their babies to chew on.H4962H3027H3068H4962H2465H2506H2416H990H4390H6840H7646H1121H3240H3499H5768 15And me? I plan on looking you full in the face. When I get up, I'll see your full stature and live heaven on earth. A David song, which he sang to God after being saved from all his enemies and from Saul.H2372H6440H6664H7646H6974H8544
