Psalm 17 (Apple of Your Eye) by Shane Heilman and Jon Degroot Hear a just cause, O Lord Listen to my cry The most honest prayer You’ve ever heard Let my vindication come From Your presence I know You know I’m in the right You’ve come to me by night You have tried my heart and found me innocent For I’ve decided that my mouth would speak no sin And by Your word I have avoided the paths of my enemies My feet have held fast So I call on You, You will answer me Incline Your ear, hear my prayer Show me Your love in beautiful ways O Savior of those who find refuge at Your right hand O Savior of those who find refuge from their enemies in You Keep me as the apple of Your eye Hide me in the shadow of Your wings From the evil one gunning for me From my enemies who surround me Their hearts are cold as ice They pour out arrogance They even now surround my every step They’ve set their sights to tear me down Like lions Eager to devour, lurking everywhere Arise, O Lord Confront my foes Overwhelm them with Your sword Deliver my soul From men of this world whose portion is this life Deliver my soul For you fill their lives with treasure You satisfy them with children And they keep their wealth for generations But as for me, as for me I will behold Your face in righteousness In holiness And when I awake When I awake I will be satisfied, I will be satisfied with Your beauty I will be satisfied when I awake with You I will be satisfied when I awake next to You
