Psalm 17

In just a couple of minutes I read this psalm. This is another psalm where David contrasts his desire to seek God with the attacks against his life by outsiders. David's life was indeed a stream of oppression. In the fields as a shepherd there were literally lions seeking his life. As a young warrior there were the Philistines always pressing the attack. As a general David led the charge against the enemy where tens of thousands of the oppressors of Israel were killed. But through all of these trials, and victories, David kept coming back to God. He ends this psalm with words of hope that he would see God's face.
