Salmos 17:1-2

The urgency with which David called on God to heed his petition suggests that he was in a very difficult position. He claimed to be representing a just cause as he made his request, and he assured God he was speaking the truth in what he was about to say. He visualized God as the celestial Judge and asked for a fair ruling in His court. In what follows, the cry for investigation of David’s situation (Psalms 17:3-5) and vindication of David’s person (Psalms 17:6-15) continues.
