Ps 17:1-15.
繁體中文
영문 원문
Ps 17:1-15.
This Psalm is termed a prayer because the language of petition is predominant. With a just cause, sincerely presented, the writer prays for a just decision and help and protection. Pleading former mercies as a ground of hope, he urges his prayer in view of the malice, pride, rapacity, and selfishness of his foes, whose character is contrasted with his pious devotion and delight in God's favor.

本篇稱為「祈禱」，因其中以祈求的語言為主。作者以正當的緣由，誠懇地呈明，祈求公正的判斷、幫助與保護。他以從前所得的憐憫為盼望的根據，鑒於仇敵的惡毒、驕傲、貪婪與自私而敦促他的禱告；他們的品格與他敬虔的奉獻及對神恩惠的喜樂形成對比。
