Psalm 10:17

New English Translation

¹⁷Lord, you have heard^[a] the request^[b] of the oppressed;
you make them feel secure because you listen to their prayer.^[c]

Psalm 10:17 sn You have heard. The psalmist is confident that God has responded positively to his earlier petitions for divine intervention. The psalmist apparently prayed the words of vv. 16-18 after the reception of an oracle of deliverance (given in response to the confident petition of vv. 12-15) or after the Lord actually delivered him from his enemies.
Psalm 10:17 tn Heb “desire.”
Psalm 10:17 tn Heb “you make firm their heart, you cause your ear to listen.”
