Kept by God’s Hand: Trusting His Justice in Psalm 17
Title: Kept by God’s Hand: Trusting His Justice in Psalm 17
Psalm 17 is a prayer of David that models how to approach God when facing injustice, false accusations, or danger. In this episode, we explore how David appeals to God’s righteousness, seeks His protection, and rests in His faithful love. This psalm not only offers comfort in times of trial but points us to Jesus Christ, our ultimate Advocate and Defender.
Episode Highlights

- David contrasts the arrogance of the wicked with the humble trust of the righteous
