Verse 6 is found in chapter 17 of Psalms. Psalm 17 presents a prayer of relative innocence and a request for protection from violent enemies. The language of divine examination shows that the psalmist wants God to know his intentions, not merely his outward actions. The adversaries are described through images of ferocity and self-sufficiency, while the petitioner asks to be kept as something precious under God’s shadow. The conclusion shifts hope from present prosperity toward the satisfaction of beholding the divine face.

Ich rufe zu dir, daß du, Gott, wollest mich erhören; neige deine Ohren zu mir, höre meine Rede.
Yo te he invocado, por cuanto tú me oirás, oh Dios: Inclina a mí tu oído, escucha mi palabra.
Te invoco, porque tú me responderás, Dios; inclina hacia mí tu oído y escucha mis palabras.
Je t'invoque, car tu m'exauces, ô Dieu! Incline vers moi ton oreille, écoute ma parole!
Io t’invoco, o Dio, perciocchè tu mi esaudisci; Inchina a me il tuo orecchio, ascolta le mie parole.
Eu te invoquei, ó Deus, pois me queres ouvir; inclina para mim os teus ouvidos, e escuta as minhas palavras.
上帝啊,我求告你,因為你必應允我; 求你向我側耳,聽我的言語。
