Psalm 17:6-10
Today we are reading Psalm 17.
As we read, these verses stood out to me:
Psalm 17:6-10 - I have called upon You, for You will answer me, God; Incline Your ear to me, hear my speech. 7 Show Your wonderful faithfulness, Savior of those who take refuge at Your right hand From those who rise up against them. 8 Keep me as the apple of the eye; Hide me in the shadow of Your wings 9 From the wicked who deal violently with me, My deadly enemies who surround me. 10 They have closed their unfeeling hearts, With their mouths they speak proudly.
