Psalm 17

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

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

7 *Ps. 31:21Wondrously show*17:7 Or Distinguish me by your steadfast love,

O Savior of those who seek refuge

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

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

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

9 from the wicked who do me violence,

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