Psalms 17:6. I have called upon thee It hath been, still is, and shall be, my constant course, to apply myself to thee for assistance and deliverance. For thou wilt hear, O God Though thou mayest delay for a season, I am well assured that thou wilt hear and answer me. read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Psalms 17:1-15

Psalms 14-17 Godly people in ungodly societyContinuing the theme of Psalms 10-13 (concerning the godly person who is downtrodden), the psalmist notes what happens when people refuse to acknowledge God and live as if he does not care about their actions. The result is a corrupt society (14:1-3). Because they have rejected God they have rejected the true standard by which to judge good and evil. They live solely for themselves, with no consideration for others and no thought for God (4). But in... read more

"I have called upon thee, for thou wilt answer me, O God:Incline thine ear unto me, and hear my speech.Show thy marvelous lovingkindness,O thou that savest by thy right hand them that take refuge in theeFrom those that rise up against them.Keep me as the apple of the eye;Hide me under the shadow of thy wings,From the wicked that oppress me,My deadly enemies that compass me about."In these verses, David mentioned the fact that God would hear him, a truth established by countless times when God... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Psalms 17:1-15

Psalms 17The content of this lament psalm is similar to that of the preceding one, except that the danger David faced when he wrote this psalm was more threatening. Again he viewed himself as a person committed to God who lived among many others who lived for the present. He prayed for deliverance from their oppression and anticipated the future in God’s presence. A strong concern for righteousness pervades the entire psalm (cf. Psalms 17:1-2; Psalms 17:15).This is one of five psalms that... read more

John Dummelow

John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 17:1-15

The Psalmist makes his appeal to the justice of God (Psalms 17:1-2), and supports his prayer by an assertion of his conscious innocence (Psalms 17:3-5) and an account of the eager cruelty of his enemies (Psalms 17:9-12). The concluding thought, that true satisfaction is found in God alone (Psalms 17:14-15), recalls the teaching of Psalms 16, with which this Ps. presents other points of likeness.1. Feigned] false, insincere. 2. My sentence] my judgment, in the favourable sense of ’vindication.’... read more
