Psalm 17

Lord, listen to me,

and please hear this prayer I pray:

I have walked with you and obeyed your voice.

I abhor violence and greed,

And choose to love, even when it hurts.

Please, shelter me now,

from my enemies and poor choices,

and from those who are jealous and judgmental.

I’ve lived under your blessing,

so don’t hold back now.

I am not one to fight or slander,

so fight for me, that your kindness will receive all the glory.

As for me, I’ll stick to the trail,

And keep climbing with you.
