Contradiction with Proverbs 28:9
This verse states that if one turns away their ear from hearing the law, even their prayer is an abomination, which contradicts the plea for God to hear the righteous prayer in Psalms 17:1.
Proverbs 28:9: He that turneth away his ear from hearing the law, even his prayer [shall be] abomination.
Contradiction with Isaiah 59:2
This verse mentions that iniquities separate individuals from God, causing Him not to hear them, whereas Psalms 17:1 asks for God's attention to a just cause and prayer.
Isaiah 59:2: But your iniquities have separated between you and your God, and your sins have hid [his] face from you, that he will not hear. [have hid: or, have made him hide]
Contradiction with John 9:31
States that God does not hear sinners, but if anyone is a worshiper of God and does His will, He hears them, which contrasts with the straightforward request for attention in Psalms 17:1 without conditions.
John 9:31: Now we know that God heareth not sinners: but if any man be a worshipper of God, and doeth his will, him he heareth.
Contradiction with James 4:3
This verse explains that prayers can go unheard if they are asked amiss, highlighting the potential for unheeded prayer, which differs from the assured plea for attention in Psalms 17:1.
James 4:3: Ye ask, and receive not, because ye ask amiss, that ye may consume [it] upon your lusts. [lusts: or, pleasures]
Contradiction with 1 John 3:22
States that receiving answers to prayers is conditional on keeping commandments and doing what pleases God, while Psalms 17:1 simply asks for God's ear to hear the prayer without conditions.
1 John 3:22: And whatsoever we ask, we receive of him, because we keep his commandments, and do those things that are pleasing in his sight.
