Psalms 17: A Prayer for Protection from Enemies

David asks God to hear his just cause, saying God has examined his heart and found him innocent. He asks to be guarded as something precious from proud enemies who hunt him like a lion, contrasts them with his own hope, and ends longing to see God's face and find full contentment in Him.
