A Look at Psalm 17

Q: What does the Bible say about the importance of prayer?

Prayer is essential for sincere communion with God and is rooted in His righteousness. In Psalm 17, David prays earnestly, appealing to God's righteousness for His attention to his sincere cries. This illustrates the paramount importance of authentic prayer, which must come from a heart that seeks alignment with the righteousness of Christ. As David acknowledges God’s sovereignty in hearing his prayers, it reflects the grace that grants us access to the throne of mercy. The marvels of prayer are twofold: that God listens to us at all, and that we often fall short in our duty to pray. This underscores the need for continual, heartfelt communication with God.

Q: How do we know that God hears our prayers?

God hears our prayers based on His righteous character and the intercession of Christ. David's plea for God to 'hear the right' in Psalm 17 highlights the assurance believers can have that their prayers are heard when they are founded on the righteousness of Christ. David expresses faith that his case will be judged not by human standards but by God's justice, illustrating our dependence on His mercy. As believers, we trust that God inclines His ear to us, and we can approach Him with confidence, having the assurance that His sovereignty and lovingkindness govern our prayers. Ultimately, it's through Christ that believers have certainty in God's attentive ear.

Q: Why is God's sovereignty important for Christians?

God's sovereignty assures believers that all events serve His ultimate purpose for good. The sovereignty of God is a fundamental concept in Reformed theology, revealing that God governs all aspects of life according to His will. In Psalm 17, David seeks God's justice and guidance, recognizing that human judgment is fallible and that divine judgment is perfectly righteous. Believers find comfort in knowing that God is in control over all circumstances, including trials and tribulations. Particularly in Hebrews, we are warned to give earnest attention to His words to prevent 'slipping,' which denotes our susceptibility to straying without God's sovereign guidance. Embracing God's sovereignty fosters trust in His goodness and purpose, leading to spiritual resilience amidst life's storms.

Q: What does it mean to be a 'man after God's own heart'?

'A man after God's own heart' is characterized by sincere love and surrender to God’s will. David is described as 'a man after God's own heart' due to his deep desire for God's presence and will in his life, which is evidenced in Psalm 17. He acknowledges his total dependence on God, recognizing that only through divine guidance can he navigate the challenges he faces. David's prayers reflect a pursuit of righteousness and honesty before God, demonstrating a heart aligned with divine desires. For believers today, being a 'man after God's own heart' involves cultivating a sincere relationship with God, seeking His guidance, and expressing trust in His promises, which leads to spiritual growth and transformation.

Well, this message tonight is
either going to be a terrific blessing to somebody or a total
flop. I've never had so much difficulty
preparing a message in all my preaching days as I've had today
for some reason or other. You would think by this time
that getting a sermon to preach would be simple. But I got up this morning and
had my breakfast and went down to the park at nine o'clock and
walked around with my wife Doris and came home and, as my custom
is, went into the study and sat down with the Bible and my pen
and paper to prepare to preach tonight. And I looked through
the word, looked through the word, and I couldn't get any
direction or liberty or leadership or anything. Not a thing. Just dead. Just dead. I sat there till noon, and my
daughter Becky came by, and we went in and talked a while and
had lunch, and I went back to the study at 1.30. I still didn't
have anything to put together. You know, it looks like, you'd
think, last night I preached number 880 television broadcasts,
880 half-hour television broadcasts we've had over the last 19 years. And you can imagine how many
sermons I've prepared in 42 years, preaching four, five, six times
a week. I finally turned to a passage
that I felt like I had some liberty on. So somebody here must need
this message. Somebody here. Maybe it's me. I bet it is. I bet it is. 3.30, Darsh came
in and said, get up and leave that desk. I said, well, I can't
leave this desk until I get something to preach on. She said, well,
you got to get up and go out. and sit down a while. Psalm 17. Let's turn over there for a few
moments. Psalm 17. There are two unusual
verses here. Two most unusual verses. Here
is a plea for help and a confession of confidence. Look at verse 5. hold up my goings
in thy paths, that my footsteps slip not." That word slip not
is be moved away from thee. Oh Lord, hold up my goings in
thy paths, in your way, that my footsteps be not moved away
from thee. And then look at verse 15. Listen
to the assurance and the confidence. As for me, as for me, I will
behold thy face in righteousness. I'll look on God's own face in
perfection and holiness. And I'll be satisfied when I
wake with thy likeness. Well, let's go back to verse
1. I call this message a look at
Psalm 17. And here in verse 1, David pleads
for the Lord to hear him. He says in verse 1, Hear the
right, hear justice, O Lord. Attend unto my cry, give ear
unto my prayer, that goeth not out of vain lips. This is sincere
prayer. I'm not a hypocrite. feigned
lips, or insincere, hypocritical lips. And he says, Oh Lord, hear
justice. Hear justice, hear the right.
That's on the basis of the righteousness of Christ. That's the only way
that I can come to Him. And attend to my prayer, and
to my cry, and give ear to my prayer. There are two marvels
Mr. Spurgeon said about this business
of prayer. Two great marvels. The first
is that he should hear us at all. David didn't take it for granted,
did he? You know, when you read that 143 while ago, he was praying,
God, hear me, hear me. Put your ear against my mouth. That's what he said. Hear me.
Prayer is not routine. Prayer has got to be sincere
from my heart to the heart of God. And he said, Lord, put your
ear against my mouth. And hear me, hear me on the basis
of justice, just for the unjust to bring me to God. Hear me on
that basis, on the righteousness of Christ. Give ear unto my prayer,
a prayer that goeth not out of hypocritical insincerity. Here are the two marvels of Christ,
Spurgeon said. One, that he should hear us at
all. That he should hear us at all. And the second is, Knowing
that He does hear us, that we don't pray as much as we should. Do you feel convicted about the
fact that you don't pray like you ought to pray? That's the
two marvels of prayer. That God should hear us. And
secondly, that we don't pray more. That we don't pray more. Verse 2, look at this. David
here wants the Lord to decide his case. He doesn't want to
be judged in the courts of men, the opinions of men. He says
in verse 2, let my sentence come forth from thy presence. O Lord,
you look upon me in Christ, and you declare my state. I want
you to declare where David stands. I don't want David declaring
it, and I don't want somebody else to declare it. I want to
hear from you. You look upon me in Christ, you
look upon me clothed in his righteousness and washed in his blood, and
let my sentence and let my case be decided from your throne and
from your presence. Last Wednesday night We observed
the Lord's table here, and we had a most wonderful, blessed
service, didn't we? And Darcy and I went home from
the service, and we were sitting in the den, and the doorbell
rang. And I went to the door and admitted
two very precious people, two young people from this congregation,
a young lady and a young man. in their early twenties. And they sat down and we began
to talk. And he said to me, he said, when
I took the bread tonight and started to partake of it, I thought,
why am I doing this? What am I doing? I'm not saved. I made a profession. I've made
a decision back yonder years ago, but I'm not saved, and this
is not for me." That's what he was saying. Now he said, I need
some help. And so we talked a little bit.
And then this was my conclusion to him. Now I said to him, don't
you talk to anybody, and don't you go to anybody for help except
to God. And you come and sit in the congregation
and listen to the gospel. And your questions will be answered
as I preach the gospel. God has chosen by the foolishness
of preaching to save them that believe. And your questions will
find that. Don't get in a hurry. Don't get
in a hurry. Twenty some odd years you've
been lost. You don't have to be saved tonight. You don't have
to have any assurance tonight of the mark. If God's begun the
work, he'll finish it. But don't let anybody interrupt
it. Don't let anybody tell you you're
saved. Don't let anybody give you any assurance. Don't you
talk to anybody. He said, well, Hal, I know when
I'm saved. I said, how'd you find out she's
lost? I didn't tell him that. Did you
tell him that? Did you tell him that, Ron? I didn't tell him. God told him. And I said, the
same one that told you that you're lost will tell you when you're
saved. You understand? That's what David's saying here.
Let my sentence, let my case be decided yonder, not here,
and not here, and not out there, not in the courts of men. The
only man that'll tell a lost man that he's saved is another
lost man. That's exactly right. The only
one that will give assurance, somebody will say to another,
well now you're saved. The only man to do that is a
man who doesn't know a thing about God's salvation. That's
right. And this is what David's saying
here, Tom. He said, I want my case decided in the courts of
God. It's not my decision. I know
Mr. Graham says this is your decision,
but that's not so. I will because he will. I love
him because he loved me. I call on him because he called
on me. I'm saved because he saved me. And that's what he's saying.
Isn't that? Let my sentence come from thy presence. Let thine
eyes behold the things that are equal. When God's eyes look upon
things that are just and right and equal, he won't consider
you on the basis of your merit or works. It will be on the basis
of Christ's merit and works. And that'll make it equal. You
won't balance the scales. But He can. He can. Oh, He can. Alright, verse 3.
Quickly, let's move on. Thou hast proved, my heart. Here, David says, now watch him
in verse 2, he says, let my case be decided by you. And let my
sentence, whatever it is, My sentence, whatever it is,
come from your throne, from your presence. And I tell you why
I can do that and how I can do that. And he puts it on the basis,
on the same plane or basis of which Peter pleaded mercy. The
Lord Jesus said, Do you love me? And you know what Peter said? You know. You know. You know all things. You know
I love you. And that's what David's saying
right here. He's putting it right there. Because like Peter, David
uses the argument, you know I love you. Listen to verse 3. Thou
hast proved my heart. You know my heart. You know,
this goes back. I want you to turn to 1 Samuel
16. This goes back to when David was a boy. 1 Samuel 16. Let's go all the way back to
when David was a boy. All the way back when he was
a boy and even his own daddy didn't see his possibilities. His own daddy didn't see his
spirituality. His brothers didn't see it and
the prophet of God didn't see it. The prophet of God tried
to anoint every boy in that house except David. And what did God
say to him in 1 Samuel 16 when he finally went out, finally
decided that the ones they had wasn't the right ones. In 1 Samuel
16, 7, the Lord said unto Samuel, Look not on his countenance,
on the height of his stature, because I have refused him. For
the Lord seeth not as man seeth, for man looketh on the outward
appearance, but the Lord looketh on the heart. Oh, I tell you,
In verse 11, Samuel said, Jesse, all your children here. And he
said, there remaineth yet the youngest. He keeps the sheep. Samuel said to Jesse, send and
fetch him. We'll not sit down until he comes.
And he sent and brought David in. He was ruddy, of a beautiful
countenance, goodly to look upon. And the Lord said, this is he. The rise anointing. That's what he said over here
in Psalm 17. You let my sentence come from
your presence because you prove my heart. You know my heart. Thus verse 3 says, you visited
me in the night. Lord, you've entered my room
at all times and you've found only trust in thee. Only trust
in thee. You've tried me, you'll find
nothing. I am purposeless that my mouth
shall not transgress. I will not deny thee. God is
my portion. God is my strength. God is my
hope. I rest in that. And God called
him a man after his own heart. But that's where this business
took place. Heart. David believed God. He was in the heart. Now then,
what's this? But verse 4, he says, concerning. Here's his dependence. One time
David is talking, Lord you know me, you know my heart, you've
tried me in the night, you've visited my room, you know my
heart loves you, I will not deny you. And he speaks with confidence
and boldness and declaring what he finds within his soul and
heart. And then he'll turn right around and talk about his weakness
and his total dependence on God's hand and help and word. concerning
the works of men. I know the works of men. I know
the ways of men. That way is well known to me
and to all of Adam's race. I know the works of men and the
ways of men. And it's only by the word of
your lips that I've kept me from the path of the destroyer. It's by thy word that I've been
delivered from the paths of iniquity and the paths of the destroyer.
Thy word has kept me, and thy word will keep me, and thy word
is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path. And without thy
word, without thy promises, and without thy word, I would have
perished. I would have gone the way of
men. Fulfill the works of men. Listen
to it. Turn to Psalm 119. Listen to
him over here. Psalm 119. Listen to David over
here. In Psalm 119. Talking about God's
word. God's Word, the strength of it,
the power of it. In Psalm 119 verse 9, Wherewithal
shall a young man cleanse his way, by taking heed thereto according
to thy word? With my whole heart have I sought
thee, O let me not wander from thy word. Thy word have I hid
in my heart, that I might not sin against thee. That's what
keeps me. That's what sustains me. That's
what strengthens me, your word. If it weren't for your word,
I'd fall like anybody else. Isn't that what he says over
there? Blessed art thou, O Lord, teach me thy word, thy statute. With my lips have I declared
all the judgments of thy mouth. I have rejoiced in the way of
thy word, thy testimonies, as much as in all riches. I will
meditate in thy precepts, thy word, and have respect unto thy
ways. I will delight myself in thy
statutes. I will not forget thy word." That's what he's saying over
here in our text in verse 4 concerning the works of men. I know all
about them. But it's by your word, the word
of your mouth, the word of your lips, that's what's kept me from
the path of the destroyer. Now look at this verse 5. Listen
to the man after God's own heart pray. Listen to the strong, weak
man. On whom does he call? O Lord
God. That's what he said in verse
1. Hear the right, O Lord, O Lord
God. What does he ask? Hold up my
goings. Hold up my goings. My direction, my walk, my steps. Hold me up. Hold me up. When does he need help? Right
now. It's present tense, isn't it? Hold up. He didn't say, Thou
hast held up my goings. He said, does he say, Alan, hold
them up right now. Right now. Hold me up right now. Hold up my goings right now.
I need thee right now. Now where does he want to walk?
In thy paths. Not in my way, in thy way. In
thy paths. Oh Lord God, hold me up. Keep me, hold me in your paths.
Why does he call on God to hold him up and to help him even at
this present time? Maybe he's an old king here.
He's an old veteran, maybe so, or whenever this was written. But why does he call, listen,
that my footsteps slip not. That I be not moved away. Moved away. Us slip in the way
of God? Well, Paul warned us over here
in Hebrews, Chapter 2, listen to what it says in Hebrews chapter
2. Uses the same phrase that David
uses here. David says, Oh Lord God, hold
up my feet, hold up my goings, hold up my walk, hold up my direction,
lest I slip. Paul says in Hebrews 2.1, Therefore
we ought to give the more earnest heed to the things we've heard,
lest at any time we want Let them slip. Let them slip. Like water out of a leaking vessel.
Get a leaking vessel, the water just watch it run out and there's
nothing you can do about it. It just goes away. That's why
there's nothing left. You know, we have a way, and
I want you to listen to me here a moment, we have a way of settling
down in our comfort zone. The comfort zone of faith, somebody
called it. And this is one of the reasons
why the Lord has to trial us. I want you to turn to Psalm 107
a minute. One of the reasons why the Lord
has to trial us is because we get settled down in a comfort
zone of faith. In Psalm 107, The reason the Lord has to try
us and has to take us through some deep water is because we
need to be tried, we need to be tested. In Psalm 107 verse
23, they that go down to the sea in ships, that do business
in great waters, these people see the works of the Lord and
his wonders in the deep, for he commandeth and raiseth the
stormy wind, which lifted up the waves thereof. And they mount
up to the heaven and go down again to the depths. Have you
ever been in a storm at sea? This is what he's talking about.
God sends the waves and the wind and the storm. And these people
that are doing business in great waters who see the great works
of God and his wonders in the deep, They go up high, and then
they come down to the depths, and their soul is melted because
of trouble, and they reel to and fro, they're smitten, they
stagger like a drunken man, they're at their wit's end, and then
they're crying to the Lord in their trouble. And He bringeth them out of their
distresses. He maketh a storm of calm. You're not going to see the calm
until you've been in the storm. You're not going to appreciate
the calm until you've been in the storm. And so the waves thereof are
still, and then are they glad. Then are they glad, because they
be quiet. And so he bringeth them unto
their desired haven. I'll tell you what's taking place. about some of the trials in my
own life and experience and how I reacted. This thing here, they
that go down to the sea in ships that do business in great waters,
those who want to see the works of God and the wonders of God
in the deep, they've got to go to the deep waters. They've got
to go through the storms like this. He commanded, raise up
the storm and Their vessels are pounded, and they go up high,
and then they're way down to the depths, and then they're
back up again, and they reel two and four, and they come to
their wit's end. There's no one to help, and they
look to Him. Lord, don't you care if we perish?
Peace be still. Who is this that even the waves
obey His laws, and they calm? I suppose the toughest trial
I ever had, of course, was the death, Robbie's death, our firstborn
son. And I wrote down some, my reaction. This is, and this is that depth
and height and toss to and fro and how, and how I was seeking
today how easily this would have destroyed me. and my wife and
our family went out to His hand and His grace who sent the storm. And here's my reaction. First
of all, when the soldiers came and told us our son was dead,
my first reaction, shock. Total shock and what disbelief. I'm not saying that this is the
way you'll respond or react, but this is the way that I did,
and possibly you might total shock and disbelieve. Oh, I knew
people died. I'd read those verses. It's appointed
unto men once to die. Men and women die. All ages die. Babies die. Children die. Young
people die. But not my son. Not me. I know the doctor tells
other people, you have a heart condition, you're going to die,
or you've got cancer, you're going to die, but he's never
pointed his finger in my face and said, you're going to die,
you've got cancer. That's shock now, isn't it? That's disbelief. And that's the first reaction,
shock and disbelief. My second reaction was anger. Anger. Toward whom? Well, toward the enemy, toward
the government, toward the whole system, toward the army. And yet I knew that these were
second causes. I knew that. Didn't I know that?
I knew that as well as anyone. I preached that. I taught you
that. These are second causes. The army didn't kill Robbie. Lyndon Johnson didn't kill Robbie. The government and draft board
didn't kill Robbie. The enemy didn't kill Robbie.
God did. God said, I kill, I make a life. I knew that, but I didn't know
that. Do you know that? Well, wait until the vessel hits
the storm and see if you know it. And you get down here in
Rio, too, in the pro, and see if you know it. No, God did it. God said, I kill, I make alive,
I wound, I heal. There are no accidents with God.
I knew that, but I still got mad. And then my third reaction
was resentment. Resentment. I resented this intrusion
into our peaceful and worshiping and devoted and dedicated Life
and family. We worship God. We preach the
gospel of God's grace. We've been faithful to God all
these years. What's he doing? Why is he doing
this to me? Isn't that what you said a few
nights ago? You face that, don't you? David
did. Turn to Psalm 73. I'm not the
first one to experience this. David experienced this in Psalm
73, listen to it. Psalm 73 verse 1, truly God's
good to Israel, I know that, you know that, God's been good
to us, even to such as are of a clean heart. But as for me,
my feet were almost gone, my steps had well and I slipped.
I was envious of the foolish when I saw the prosperity of
the wicked, there's no bands in their death, their strength
is firm, they're not in trouble, why am I in trouble? Neither
are they plagued like other men. Therefore pride cometh to them
as a chain, violence cometh to them as a garment. They sat there,
listen down here in verse 10. But therefore his people, God's
people, return thither, and waters of a full cup are wrung out to
them. You know about this, don't you?
Resentment. Then comes what David is saying
over here in Psalm 17. Go back to my text. And then
comes this text here. Verse 4. Concerning the works
of men, the ways of men, by the words of thy lips I have kept
me from the path of the destroyer. for you hold up my goings in
thy paths that my footsteps slip not." His word came to me, and
I understood four things. In this and in everything else,
and peace returned, and God spoke, and the calm, the storm calmed
down, the waters calmed down, and I understood four things. The Lord is sovereign in everything. He not only knows when a spiral
falls, but He knows when a sun falls. That's right. Over the least matter, He's in
total control. And that'll make the storm settle
down. Secondly, these trials are for our good. Oh, not our
temporary good, not our Not this moment, the good of the moment,
but our eternal good. Our eternal relationship with
Him, because we know that all these things work together for
good to them who love Him, who are called according to His purpose.
Thirdly, and His grace is sufficient. Weeping may endure for the night,
but joy comes in the morning. Let me show you another verse
here to hold that third thing. Turn to Isaiah 54. Listen to
this. Isaiah 54, verse 7. Thank God
we can turn to the Word. This is what I'm saying, what
David's saying. Your Word kept me from going down. Your Word
kept me from the path of the destroyer. Your Word kept me
from perishing and moving away from you. Listen to verse 7 of
Isaiah 54. For a small moment have I forsaken
you, but with great mercies will I gather you. In little wrath
I hid my face from thee for a moment, but with everlasting kindness,
everlasting kindness, will I have mercy upon thee, saith the Lord
thy Redeemer." I'll bless you, and I'm going to bless you forever.
This is temporary. My mercy is forever. And then
the fourth thing I learned was this, 2 Corinthians chapter 1. 2 Corinthians chapter 1. You know we sing a song, used
to sing a song, I don't think we've used it here in years,
but it's called Make Me a Blessing. Make Me a Blessing, that's the
title of it. Well, in order to make me a blessing,
the Lord has to do some things to me, in me that aren't always pleasant,
because he says here in 2 Corinthians 1 verse 3, blessed be God, blessed
God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies
and the God of all comfort, who comforteth us in our troubles,
in order that we may be able to comfort them which are in
any trouble. by the comfort wherewith we ourselves
are comforted of God." Oh, that's so important, isn't
it? And where do you find all of this, all of this, when, like
he said, when the waves are high or low or wherever in His Word? All right, I must hurry. Verse
6 says in our text, For thou wilt hear me, O God,
incline thine ear unto me, and hear my speech, and show thy
marvelous lovingkindness." Thy marvelous lovingkindness. Oh, the lovingkindness of our
God. It's sovereign, it's free, it's
everlasting, it's unchangeable, it's special, it's discriminating.
The marvelous lovingkindness. What says, O thou that sayest
this by thy right hand, What is this right hand? Well, his
right hand is power. I tell you, his right hand is
the man at his right hand. That's how I say it, the man
at his right hand. He saves those who trust in him
by his right hand. He saves us from those that would
rise up against his right hand. And then he says in verse 8,
as the apple of thine eye, hide me under the shadow of thy wings."
And then he speaks, and this is the Messiah speaking, and
this is David speaking, this is every believer talking about
keeping us from our enemies. Listen, keep me as the apple
of thine eye, as the pupil of thine eye, hide me under the
shadow of thy wings. That's the wings of the mercy
seat, as well as as a hen does gather her brood. Now watch this,
I'll just read this quickly and go to the last verse. From the
wicked that oppress me, from my daily enemies who compass
me about, they're enclosed in their own fat, with their mouth
they speak proudly, this is satanic power, principalities, powers,
rulers of the darkness, They have now compassed us in our
steps, they have set their eyes bowing down to the earth like
as a lion that is greedy of his prey and as it were a young lion
lurking or sitting in secret places. Arise, O Lord, disappoint
him, cast him down, deliver my soul from the wicked which is
with thy sword or by thy sword. From me and by thy hand deliver
me, from the wicked, from me and by thy hand, O Lord, from
men of the world which have their portion in this life, have no
hope of eternal life. Their belly thou fillest with
thy hid treasure. Their children are full, and
leave the rest of their substance to their babes. But here's the
last verse now. But ask for me. I don't want
to be like them. I don't want to be like them. And ask for me. As for me, as
for me, thy son in Christ, I tell you it's difficult to
decide to which we owe the most in this walk of life. To which
do we owe the most? To the joys God sends us or to
the sorrows? To which do we owe the most? To our successes or to our failures? to our standings or our falls,
to our times of plenty or to our times of poverty, I don't
know. But he says this, as for me, by your grace I'll behold
your face in righteousness. If we've seen the glory of God
in the face of Christ Jesus by his grace, then someday we're
going to see the face of God in reality. And we're going to
see His face in perfect righteousness. Let me read you something over
here in the book of Jude. In the book of Jude, verse 24,
right quickly, verse 24. I'm going to see your face. I
couldn't look on God and live now, but then face to face, righteous
in Christ, pure in His blood. I'm going to see His face now
unto Him that's able to keep you from falling and to present
you faultless before the presence of His glory with exceeding joy. To the only wise God our Savior
be glory and majesty, dominion and power both now and forever. I'll behold your face in righteousness
and He says I'll be totally satisfied when I awake with thy likeness. when I awake with thy likeness." That's the hope of every believer
in Christ Jesus. Boy, you experience that, Lord
hold me up or I'm going to slip. And yet
the same day you say, I'm going to behold his face in righteousness.
I'm going to be satisfied when I awake with his likeness. It's
all by his grace. And here's the foundation of
that hope, it's his blessed word.

A Look at Psalm 17

What does the Bible say about the importance of prayer?

How do we know that God hears our prayers?
