David’s prayer is for justice and vindication from enemies who have no pity on him, who only want what they can gain from this world and this life. But David seeks the LORD’s presence now, and to awake from the sleep of death seeing the LORD’s face. His prayer is for God’s help today, but his hope extends to the resurrection tomorrow.
LORD, we seek you today, and trust you for a resurrected life eternal.
Psalm 17
