Psalms 17:10 - Forerunner Commentary

Psalms 17:10

8 Keep me as the¹ apple of Your eye;
Hide me under the shadow of Your wings,

9 From the wicked who oppress me,
From my deadly enemies who surround me.

10 They have closed up their ^afat hearts;
With their mouths they ^bspeak proudly.

11 They have now surrounded us in our steps;
They have set their eyes, crouching down to the earth,

12 As a lion is eager to tear his prey,
And like a young lion lurking in secret places.

13 Arise, O Lord,
Confront him, cast him down;
Deliver my life from the wicked with Your sword,

14 With Your hand from men, O Lord,
From men of the world who have their portion in this life,
And whose belly You fill with Your hidden treasure.
They are satisfied with children,
And leave the rest of their possession for their babes.

15 As for me, ^aI will see Your face in righteousness;
^bI shall be satisfied when I ^cawake in Your likeness.
