Psalm 17:1-5 A Prayer of David.
Hear a just cause, O LORD; attend to my cry! Give ear to my prayer from lips free of deceit! From your presence let my vindication come! Let your eyes behold the right! You have tried my heart, you have visited me by night, you have tested me, and you will find nothing; I have purposed that my mouth will not transgress. With regard to the works of man, by the word of your lips I have avoided the ways of the violent. My steps have held fast to your paths; my feet have not slipped.
I am not as sure as David that I can make these statements with the same confidence. I do know that the desire of my heart would be that it were so. I do know that this can only come through the work of the Holy Spirit transforming my mind, heart and conscience. And I know that He requires my complete submission and obedience. He will not argue with me -- I must submit. O, Lord, this is hard!
