I have read that Psalm so very many times and I dont remember seeing that particular verse the way I saw it this morning. Yes, it is true. My, my, my so many circumstances against me, obstacles, it was, is His hand. He has been calling me to come closer to Him. I have disobeyed, to put it simply. I love HIM so much, HE is magnificent, all powerful, all loving and all Holy and True. HE is Loving Just and True. He only ever calls us closer to Him. Not to punish but to give us opportunities to get to Know Him more and more and more. John 17:3 this is life eternal, to know God and His Son whom He sent" To know Him is to love Him. I confess undisplined flesh, I plead the Blood of the Lamb. Please continue to draw me Yahweh and we will run after you. After you have corrected me use me to draw multitudes to You. Oh Holy and most Perfect One. My dearest papa, my only treasure. Please forgive me and help me. I love you.
David is acknowledging God is good with praises of His goodness. He desires those same qualities in his own life. As God was good to him, he in turn might demonstrate goodness to others. David believes, and rightly so , that instruction for such a life will only be found in scripture, hence he says, teach me Your statutes. When one seriously considers God 's goodness, they could spend a long, long time trying to exhaust the matter. As I read this verse my mind went to Psalms 17:15 David writes, " as for me, I will behold thy face in righteousness: I shall be satisfied, when I awake with thy likeness. " His thinking was correct. On this side of the grave we can only strive to move into His likeness, but one day we will be changed, separated from sin, and become like Him.

This shows a great intimacy between David and God. He 's saying I 'm an open book. I shared my trials, my burdens with God. He 's no stranger to my voice. This also involves confession of sin. With all that said David is still looking for more wisdom, teach me your statutes. Psalms 17:15 is David 's heart. As for me, I will behold thy face in righteousness: I shall be satisfied, when I awake in your likeness. This should be everyone 's desire.
Wow, time is catching up to the Living Word of the Living God. Verse 11 highlights this in a huge way! They are certainly using GPS cell phones license plate scanners computers to track us in our steps by use of satellites and cameras bowing down to the earth. Only a liar could deny that! Praise the LORD Jesus Christ for opening our eyes as we finish out the last days. Blessings to all who yearn for the knowledge of the truth! Amen
I had the psalm 17 been call in dream and I believe that God will let me know the reason y He allow me to hear His word because from now till seven day I believe HE will perform wonder in my live Amen
this chapter basically speaks the 1st scripture of chapter 23 saying The Lord is my shepherd I shall not want.....I am so grateful I just starting back on my reading its been a while but God has touched me in many ways keeping me and mines well I love him dearly and KNOW HE ALWAYS WITH ME...Thank you Jehovah
I have read psalms over n over but i guess this has been the day for this revelation to me. it has just caught my eye17:5...wow!!! i had a dream last year which has been explained through this verse.
lost man does not recognise his works are "anti-christ", hence the world today naked,blind and unsealed,through the influence of "the prince of the power of the air" are setting the stage for "Appolyon" the destroyer, Only the incorruptable seed of the pure word of God, can keep us from being blinded,taken and snared by the paths of the destroyer manifested in the works of men,
As we mature through the sanctification process of being led by the Holy Spirit through obedience, He transform our character to the likeness of Christ. You should be able to see a life style change in your life that glorify Him more and more each day!!!
This is in response to Chantel's Revelation Chapter 9 comment on 9/08/2013, 10:22am: There is no written verse in this book that talks about someone who has a gold or silver tooth. But to answer your question, refer to Psalms 17:15 which discussed about beholding God's face in righteousness, being satisfied, when you awake, with God's likeness.
This verse from childhood has been my prayer, I've recited over my entire left..named a business Pathway..to remind me of the right path in my journey with the Lord!
Psalm 17 "Keep me as the apple of the eye, hide me under the shadow of thy wings" My faith has increased as I truly believe GOD as I have watched his healing, favor, provision,and protection over my life. Praise GOD for he truly is the king of the universe.
This is a Psalm of protection, love, sacrifice. One of truth, life. Of lessons learned and lessons forgotten. This is a Psalm that clarifies God’s grace and His mercy. Also one that shows us His true beauty is undying.
David is sincere in asking God to help him, He has obeyed God and He know God will deliver him from his enemies. We should be sincere in whatever we ask God and also obey him and trust that he will do so. Amen, praise the Lord for he is good.
Dear Linda, I wanted to respond also to the part of your letter about God's Word saying that no man has seen God at anytime. I found the scripture, and some more that relate to it. No man can see God, but mankind, to whomever He will reveal Himself, can see His Christ; His Image; His only begotten Son, which is also His Word; words, and is the Sword of His Spirit, and we can see God, the Father IN the Face of God's Word; God's only begotten Son; Christ Jesus. The reason Christ is the ONLY begotten of God; the Father, is because Christ was always with God, always existed, was always part of that which is God, and literally CAME FORTH from God. All mankind that receives Christ is born of; begotten of, God BY Christ; BY God's Word, and by His Spirit, thus the Spirit of God's Word. For, the WORDS of Christ are spirit and life.
It is IN the Face; the WORDS, of Christ, that we see; perceive, and come to know, the Father. As, Christ Jesus is the EXPRESS Image of God, the Father. As, Christ was/is the very HEART of God, the Father, expressed unto us. Christ IS the Word, and thus the WORDS of the Father, speaking unto us. As it is written:
I John 3:I can of mine own self do nothing: as I hear, I judge: and my judgment is just; because I seek not mine own will, but the will of the Father which hath sent me.
John 7:16 Jesus answered them, and said, My doctrine is not mine, but his that sent me.
John 12:44 Jesus cried and said, He that believeth on me, believeth not on me, but on him that sent me.
When Christ Jesus says 'My words,' they are not His as far as where; Who, they came from. The words of God's Word; Christ, are the words of His Father, just as Christ; God's Word, is God's; the Father's.
There are so many beautiful and deep things touched upon in the prayer that Jesus Christ prayed to His Father in John, chapter 17. One thing is that He says, in so many words, 'Father, you gave mankind ME, and I gave them your WORDS.
John 17:1 These words spake Jesus, and lifted up his eyes to heaven, and said, Father, the hour is come; glorify thy Son, that thy Son also may glorify thee:
And now, O Father, glorify thou me with thine own self with the glory which I had with thee before the world was.
6 I have manifested thy name unto the men which thou gavest me out of the world: thine they were, and thou GAVEST THEM ME; and they have kept thy word.
7 Now they have known that all things whatsoever thou hast given me are of thee.
8 For I have GIVEN unto them THE WORDS which thou gavest me; and they have received them, and have known surely that I came out from thee, and they have believed that thou didst send me.
20 Neither pray I for these alone, but for them also which shall believe on me through their word;
21 That they all may be one; as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they also may be one in us: that the world may believe that thou hast sent me.
22 And the glory which thou gavest me I have given them; that they may be one, even as we are one:
23 I in them, and thou in me, that they may be made perfect in one; and that the world may know that thou hast sent me, and hast loved them, as thou hast loved me.
24 Father, I will that they also, whom thou hast given me, be with me where I am; that they may behold my glory, which thou hast given me: for thou lovedst me before the foundation of the world.
25 O righteous Father, the world hath not known thee: but I have known thee, and these have known that thou hast sent me.
26 And I have declared unto them thy name, and will declare it: that the love wherewith thou hast loved me may be in them, and I in them.

10 Believest thou not that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? the words that I speak unto you I speak not of myself: but the Father that dwelleth in me, he doeth the works.
23 Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him.
24 He that loveth me not keepeth not my sayings: and the word which ye hear is NOT MINE, but the Father's which sent me.
25 These things have I spoken unto you, being yet present with you.
26 But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.

Protact me from my enemies.

It is IN the Face; the WORDS, of Christ, that we see; perceive, and come to know, the Father. As, Christ Jesus is the EXPRESS Image of God, the Father. As, Christ was/is the very HEART of God, the Father, expressed unto us. Christ IS the Word, and thus the WORDS of the Father, speaking unto us. As it is written:
I John 3:I can of mine own self do nothing: as I hear, I judge: and my judgment is just; because I seek not mine own will, but the will of the Father which hath sent me.
John 7:16 Jesus answered them, and said, My doctrine is not mine, but his that sent me.
John 12:44 Jesus cried and said, He that believeth on me, believeth not on me, but on him that sent me.
When Christ Jesus says 'My words,' they are not His as far as where; Who, they came from. The words of God's Word; Christ, are the words of His Father, just as Christ; God's Word, is God's; the Father's.
There are so many beautiful and deep things touched upon in the prayer that Jesus Christ prayed to His Father in John, chapter 17. One thing is that He says, in so many words, 'Father, you gave mankind ME, and I gave them your WORDS.

And now, O Father, glorify thou me with thine own self with the glory which I had with thee before the world was.
6 I have manifested thy name unto the men which thou gavest me out of the world: thine they were, and thou GAVEST THEM ME; and they have kept thy word.
7 Now they have known that all things whatsoever thou hast given me are of thee.
8 For I have GIVEN unto them THE WORDS which thou gavest me; and they have received them, and have known surely that I came out from thee, and they have believed that thou didst send me.
20 Neither pray I for these alone, but for them also which shall believe on me through their word;
21 That they all may be one; as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they also may be one in us: that the world may believe that thou hast sent me.
22 And the glory which thou gavest me I have given them; that they may be one, even as we are one:
23 I in them, and thou in me, that they may be made perfect in one; and that the world may know that thou hast sent me, and hast loved them, as thou hast loved me.
24 Father, I will that they also, whom thou hast given me, be with me where I am; that they may behold my glory, which thou hast given me: for thou lovedst me before the foundation of the world.
25 O righteous Father, the world hath not known thee: but I have known thee, and these have known that thou hast sent me.
26 And I have declared unto them thy name, and will declare it: that the love wherewith thou hast loved me may be in them, and I in them.
