Ps 17 Synthesis.jpg +
<ul><li>It was the prerogative … <ul><li>It was the prerogative of those considered to be upright by the standards of YHWH's law to "assume the privilege of the righteous and pray for vindication" (Craigie 2004, 163; TWOT, 752-753). Moreover, it was expected that those who lived a righteous life would, therefore, be heard by God, especially when they entreated him for justice (Pss 5; 7:4-6, 9-11; 34:16-18; 66:18-19; 84:12; Prov 15:8-9; 29; 2 Chron 7:14) (Delitzsch 1883, 291-293).</li></br><li>Appealing to YHWH to punish one's enemies involved presenting a convincing depiction of one's enemies with regard to egregious nature of the evil they were guilty of (Keel 1997, 85, 96-97). Vivid descriptions of the treacherous ways of the wicked are seen to accompany the imprecations spoken against them (Pss 5:10-11; 28:3-5; 56:2-3, 6-7; 58:3-6; 109:2-5, 16-20) (Keel 1997, 97).</li></br><li>"The experience of God in the temple is described as 'seeing God' or 'the face of God' (Pss 42:2; 63:2; 84:7)" (Keel 1997, 201). However, there is no firm indication in Psalm 17 that David is taking part in an incubation ritual of some sort.</li></ul>m 17 that David is taking part in an incubation ritual of some sort.</li></ul> +
Psalm 017 - Story background.jpg +
:1. A prayer. By David.
:YHWH, hear a rig … </br>:1. A prayer. By David.</br>:YHWH, hear a righteous case! </br>:Pay attention to my cry!</br>:Listen to my prayer </br>:which is made without deceitful lips!</br></br>:2. May my judgment come from you. </br>:May your eyes see uprightness.</br></br>:3. You have examined my heart; you have inspected [my heart] at night;</br>:you have tested me; you find nothing.</br>:What I say is not different from what I think.</br></br>:4. As for what people do, by the word of your lips </br>:I have restrained violent behavior,</br></br>:5. my steps persisting in your ways. </br>:My feet have not slipped.</br></br>:6. I have called out to you, God, for you answer me.</br>:Incline your ear to me! Hear what I am saying!</br></br>:7. Carry out your covenant acts wondrously, deliverer of those who take refuge </br>:at your right hand from their adversaries.</br></br>:8. Guard me like the apple of your eye!</br>:You must hide me in the shade of your wings</br></br>:9. from wicked people who have been violent toward me,</br>:[from] my ravenous enemies who gather around against me!</br></br>:10. They have closed their fat; </br>:they have spoken arrogantly with their mouths.</br></br>:11. They have tracked me down; now they surround me.</br>:They fix their eyes to scan over the land.</br></br>:12. He is like a lion eager to maul;</br>:And like a vigorous lion lurking in hiding places.</br></br>:13. Arise, YHWH! Confront his face! Cause him to bow down!</br>:Deliver my life from wicked people by your sword,</br>:14. from mortal men, by your hand, YHWH, from worldly people</br>:whose portion is in this life. May you fill their belly with what you have stored up for them!</br>:May the children eat their fill and have some left over for their little ones!</br></br>:15. After being vindicated, may I see your face.</br>:May I be satisfied with [seeing] your likeness when I awake.</br>d with [seeing] your likeness when I awake.

David claims to be upright, petitions YHWH fordeliverance, describes his enemies' wickedness, and asksYHWH to provide for his people and that he may see YHWH's face. +
