Psalms 17:7

Accomplish awesome, faithful deeds, ¹  you who powerfully deliver those who look to you for protection from their enemies. ² 

Show the wonder of your great love, you who save by your right hand those who take refuge in you from their foes.

Wondrously show Your lovingkindness, O Savior of those who take refuge at Your right hand From those who rise up against them.

Show me your unfailing love in wonderful ways. You save with your strength those who seek refuge from their enemies.

Paint grace-graffiti on the fences; take in your frightened children who Are running from the neighborhood bullies straight to you.

Make clear the wonder of your mercy, O saviour of those who put their faith in your right hand, from those who come out against them.

Wondrously show your steadfast love, O savior of those who seek refuge from their adversaries at your right hand.

Show Your marvelous lovingkindness by Your right hand, O You who save those who trust in You From those who rise up against them .

Accomplish awesome, faithful deeds, ¹  you who powerfully deliver those who look to you for protection from their enemies. ² 

¹ tn Heb “Set apart faithful acts.”

² tn Heb “[O] one who delivers those who seek shelter from the ones raising themselves up, by your right hand.” The Lord’s “right hand” here symbolizes his power to protect and deliver.

sn Those who look to you for protection from their enemies. “Seeking shelter” in the Lord is an idiom for seeking his protection. Seeking his protection presupposes and even demonstrates the subject’s loyalty to the Lord. In the psalms those who “take shelter” in the Lord are contrasted with the wicked and equated with those who love, fear and serve the Lord (Pss 5:11-12; 31:17-20; 34:21-22).
