Psalm 17:1-7

Psalm 17

A Prayer for Protection

A prayer of David.

1 Lord, hear a just cause;(A)
pay attention to my cry;
listen to my prayer—
from lips free of deceit.(B)
2 Let my vindication come from you,
for you see what is right.(C)
3 You have tested my heart;(D)
you have examined me at night.
You have tried me and found nothing evil;(E)
I have determined that my mouth will not sin.[a]
4 Concerning what people do:
by the words from your lips
I have avoided the ways of the violent.(F)
5 My steps are on your paths;
my feet have not slipped.(G)

6 I call on you, God,
because you will answer me;(H)
listen closely to me; hear what I say.
7 Display the wonders of your faithful love,(I)
Savior of all who seek refuge(J)
from those who rebel against your right hand.[b]

Psalm 17:15

15 But I will see your face in righteousness;(A)
when I awake, I will be satisfied with your presence.[a](B)

Isaiah 14:1-2

Israel’s Return

14 For the Lord will have compassion(A) on Jacob and will choose Israel again.(B) He will settle them on their own land.(C) The resident alien will join them and be united with the house of Jacob.(D) 2 The nations will escort Israel and bring it to its homeland. Then the house of Israel will possess them as male and female slaves in the Lord’s land.(E) They will make captives of their captors and will rule over their oppressors.

Philippians 4:10-15

Appreciation of Support

10 I rejoiced in the Lord greatly because once again(A) you renewed your care for me.(B) You were, in fact, concerned about me but lacked the opportunity to show it. 11 I don’t say this out of need, for I have learned to be content in whatever circumstances I find myself. 12 I know how to make do with little, and I know how to make do with a lot.(C) In any and all circumstances I have learned the secret of being content—whether well fed or hungry, whether in abundance or in need. 13 I am able to do all things through him[a] who strengthens me.(D) 14 Still, you did well by partnering with me in my hardship.

15 And you Philippians(E) know that in the early days of the gospel,(F) when I left Macedonia,(G) no church shared with me in the matter of giving and receiving except you alone.
