Chapter 17
14Heal me, Lord, and I will be healed; Save me and I will be saved, For You are my praise. 15Look, they keep saying to me, 'Where is the word of the Lord? Let it come now!' 16But as for me, I have not hurried away from being a shepherd following after You, Nor have I longed for the disastrous day; You Yourself know that the utterance of my lips Was in Your presence. 17Do not be a terror to me; You are my refuge in a day of disaster.King James Version

14Heal me, O Lord, and I shall be healed; save me, and I shall be saved: for thou art my praise.
18Let them be confounded that persecute me, but let not me be confounded: let them be dismayed, but let not me be dismayed: bring upon them the day of evil, and destroy them with double destruction.
19Thus said the Lord unto me; Go and stand in the gate of the children of the people, whereby the kings of Judah come in, and by the which they go out, and in all the gates of Jerusalem;

Chapter 17
14Heal me, Lord, and I will be healed; save me, and I will be saved, for you are my praise. 15Hear how they keep challenging me, "Where is the word of the Lord? Let it come!" 16But I have not run away from being your shepherd, and I have not longed for the fatal day. You know my words were spoken in your presence. 17Don’t become a terror to me. You are my refuge in the day of disaster. 18Let my persecutors be put to shame, but don’t let me be put to shame. Let them be terrified, but don’t let me be terrified. Bring on them the day of disaster; shatter them with total destruction.New Living Translation
Chapter 17
14O Lord, if you heal me, I will be truly healed; if you save me, I will be truly saved. My praises are for you alone! 15People scoff at me and say, 'What is this ‘message from the Lord’ you talk about? Why don’t your predictions come true?'
16Lord, I have not abandoned my job as a shepherd for your people. I have not urged you to send disaster. You have heard everything I’ve said.
17Lord, don’t terrorize me! You alone are my hope in the day of disaster.
18Bring shame and dismay on all who persecute me, but don’t let me experience shame and dismay. Bring a day of terror on them. Yes, bring double destruction upon them!
