Psalm 17 - Suffering Injustice
Peter write a manual on unjust suffering using Christ as our example (1Pe 2:19-25). Jesus suffered injustice committing Himself to the Father "who judges righteously". Outline: (1) commitment (Psa 17:1-5) (2) conduct (Psa 17:6-8) (3) consider (Psa 17:9-15). Commit your cause to the Father and His character will be on the line (Psa 17:2, Jam 4:12, Joh 5:22). Unjust suffering is a test of our character and faith (Psa 17:3-5, 1Pe 1:7, Jam 1:12). Vengeance is God's (Rom 12:19). The Devil tempts us to react, to demand what's right (Psa 17:4-5, Rom 12:19). David recognizes he needs help to stay on the path in fellowship (Psa 17:5-8, 1Co 10:13). Satan and the wicked focus on this life to enrich themselves at the expense of others (Psa 17:10-12, 1Pe 5:8, Joh 8:44). David realizes he'll wake up in the reflection of Him (Psa 17:15). Possibly the setting for Psalm 17: Saul is told that the Philistines have attacked and withdraws from pursuing David (1Sa 23:24-29)
