In the Shadow of Your Wings

A 17:0 [Ps. 86, title; 142, title]Prayer of David.

1Hear a just cause, O Lord; 17:1 Ps. 142:6; [Ps. 61:1; Jer. 7:16]attend to my cry!

Give ear to my prayer from lips free of deceit!

2From your presence 17:2 [Ps. 26:1]let my vindication come!

Let your eyes behold the right!

3You have 17:3 See Job 23:10tried my heart, you have 17:3 Job 31:14visited me by 17:3 Ps. 16:7; [Job 33:15] night,

you have 17:3 Judg. 7:4; Zech. 13:9; 1 Pet. 1:7; [Ps. 139:1; Mal. 3:2, 3]tested me, and you will find nothing;

I have purposed that my mouth will not transgress.

4With regard to the works of man, by the word of your lips

I have avoided the ways of the violent.

5My steps have 17:5 Job 23:11; [Ps. 44:18]held fast to your paths;

my feet have not slipped.

6I 17:6 Ps. 86:6, 7; 116:1, 2call upon you, for you will answer me, O God;

17:6 See Ps. 31:2incline your ear to me; hear my words.

717:7 Ps. 31:21Wondrously show17:7 Or Distinguish me by your steadfast love,

O Savior of those who seek refuge

from 17:7 Ps. 44:5; 59:1; 139:21their adversaries at your right hand.

8Keep me as 17:8 Deut. 32:10; Zech. 2:8the apple of your eye;

hide me in 17:8 Ps. 36:7; 57:1; 63:7; 91:4; [Matt. 23:37; Luke 13:34]; See Ruth 2:12the shadow of your wings,

9from the wicked who do me violence,

my deadly enemies who 17:9 [1 Sam. 23:26]surround me.

1017:10 [Ps. 119:70] They close their hearts to pity;

with their mouths they 17:10 Ps. 31:18; 1 Sam. 2:3speak arrogantly.

11They have now surrounded our 17:11 [Ps. 89:51] steps;

they set their eyes to 17:11 Ps. 62:4cast us to the ground.

12He is like a lion eager to tear,

as a young lion 17:12 [Ps. 10:8, 9]lurking in ambush.

13Arise, O Lord! Confront him, subdue him!

Deliver my soul from the wicked by your sword,

14from men by your hand, O Lord,

from 17:14 [Ps. 10:18; Luke 16:8; 20:34] men of the world whose 17:14 Matt. 6:2, 5, 16; Luke 16:25portion is in this life.17:14 Or from men whose portion in life is of the world

You fill their womb with treasure;17:14 Or As for your treasured ones, you fill their womb

they are satisfied with 17:14 [Job 21:11]children,

and they leave their abundance to their infants.

15As for me, I shall 17:15 Job 33:26; 1 John 3:2; [Ps. 11:7] behold your face in righteousness;

when I 17:15 Isa. 26:19; Dan. 12:2awake, I shall be 17:15 [Ps. 16:11]satisfied with your likeness.
