Rise up, Lord, confront them, bring them down

Psalm 17:1-15
I call on you, my God, for you will answer me; turn your ear to me and hear my prayer.
Show me the wonders of your great loveyou who save by your right hand those who take refuge in you from their foes.
Keep me as the apple of your eyehide me in the shadow of your wings from the wicked who are out to destroy me, from my mortal enemies who surround me.
They close up their callous heartsand their mouths speak with arrogance.   They have tracked me down, they now surround me, with eyes alert, to throw me to the ground. They are like a lion hungry for prey, like a fierce lion crouching in cover.
Rise up, Lord, confront them, bring them down with your sword rescue me from the wicked.
As for me, I will be vindicated and will see your face when I awake, I will be satisfied with seeing your likeness.
David like Jobm is certain of his own integrity and this is the basis of his plea.
Why?
David was surrounded by his enemy, so he prayed to the Lord for salvation and delivery.
David asked the Lord to judge him that he is righteous. Please listen to his prayer.
David asked the Lord to look at him when the Lord looks him he knew he will be saved.
Enemies like a lion hungry for prey, so same as the sins.
心單純的走在神的道路。大衛希望他是這樣的一個人。我們都會禱告呃,但是常常帶著些私心。
呼求神的保護v6-9。因以前的經驗詳細神,神保護人保護如保護眼中的瞳人,不允許一點沙子到眼睛。
惡人自以為是,做對的事情。以獅子做比喻,只在今生有福分,他們這樣就滿足了。
大衛的心願是求見主面,在復活時得主的馨香。
單純依靠的和爭取爭奪的對比。只今生有福分,以後留給孩子,永生看不到,還是得永生。
How?
Pray to the Lord when we are frustrated or attacked by our enemies. God is my savior. Trust in Jesus Christ.
