Psalm 17 is a prayer of David

In this prayer David asks God for vindication, protection, and then declares his salvation.

"By the power of your hand, O Lord,
destroy those who look to this world for their reward.
But satisfy the hunger of your treasured ones.
May their children have plenty,
leaving an inheritance for their descendants."
Psalm 17:14 NLT

Like David does in his prayer, may we as shepherd leaders declare, decide, and determine who God is in our lives and how we will live.
