Psalm 17:3 நீர் என் இருதயத்தைப் பரிசோதித்து, இராக்காலத்தில் அதை விசாரித்து, என்னைப் புடமிட்டுப்பார்த்தும் ஒன்றும் காணாதிருக்கிறீர்; என் வாய் மீறாதபடிக்குத் தீர்மானம் பண்ணியிருக்கிறேன்.

Ps 17:4As for the deeds of men
By the word of your lips
I have kept myself
From the ways of the violent.
17:5
My steps have held to your paths;
My feet have not slipped.
17:8
Keep me as the apple of your eye; hide me in the shadow of your wings
NIV

17:4 மனுஷரின் செய்கைகளைக்குறித்து, நான் உம்முடைய உதடுகளின் வாக்கினாலே துஷ்டனுடைய பாதைகளுக்கு விலக்கமாய் என்னைக் காத்துக்கொள்ளுகிறேன்.

Psalm -(v5) My steps have held to your paths; my feet have not stumbled. (என் காலடிகள் வழுவாதபடிக்கு என் நடைகளை உமதுவழிகளில் ஸ்திரப்படுத்தும்)
-When we are in His foot paths, no need to worry about “anything”.
-Our journey will be joyful, fearless, and the ultimate destination (eternal) is so guaranteed. He is the Way, let’s follow “His foot paths”.

Hide me in the shadow of your wings. Rescue me by your sword

Psalms 17: (v8) Keep me as the apple of your eye, hide me in the shadow of the wings.(v7) Show me the wonders of your great love. — You are my refuge Lord, I will seek protection only in you Lord. Thank you for being my protector.

David ensures that “running the race” is actually worth the reward by juxtaposition the last 2 verses on purpose: while those who do not follow God are living and working for THIS life while receiving temporary satisfaction (v. 14), those who do follow God live and work for the ETERNAL life to receive long-lasting satisfaction (v. 15). –

“Keep me as the apple of your eye; hide me in the shadow of your wings.” ~ Psalm 17:8God will always take special care for us and guard us and he will never forsake us.

3 things I learned from Psalms-171)King David was too open to God to share his strength and weakness to get help. Am I ready to openly talk to God to get help.?
2) He believed that the Lord help him! Do I really believe him for help ?? Or else believe in my own strength for succeed !!
3) He is looking for God’s likeness!!! To whom I look for my likeness???

Psalm 17: “Guard me as the apple of the eye; hide me in the shadow of your wings” (v. 8). Great prayer! David was confident that his prayers will be answered (v. 6).

Psalm 17: “show me the wonders of your great love” (v. 7)

You have tried my heart, you have visited me by night, you have tested me, and you will find nothing; – Psalm 17:3. David has lead a clean life and so when tested and checked there was no evil. David was very confident about his clean heart, let’s pursue to lead a clean life

Psalm 17 : உமது வியத்தகு பேரன்பைக் காண்பித்தருளும்; உம்மிடம் அடைக்கலம் புகுவோரை அவர்களுடைய எதிரிகளிடமிருந்து உமது வலக்கரத்தால் விடுவிப்பவர் நீரே!
