Psalm 17

Display the wonders
of your faithful love,
Savior of all who seek refuge
from those who rebel
against your right hand.

Sooner or later most of us face opposition – and we (I), should expect that might come from people who oppose the faith I have, from those who would prefer to think there is no mighty God who rules the universe.

But, you Lord, can display your faithful love (chesed)
that saves us,
that protects us,
that provides for us,
that becomes our shield against those who oppose us when we stand for you.

Lord, I trust in you. I rely completely on your protection and provision.

I will make you known throughout the earth!

(a similar portion of the illustration for Psalm 18 – reflects the safe refuge of this Psalm as well.)
