When we look at Psalms 17 and 18 side by side, we see that they go together. Psalm 17 is the prayer, and Psalm 18 is the praise for the answered prayer. There are lessons to be learned about prayer from Psalm 17 and about praise from Psalm 18. Two main points that we should note are that Psalm 17 is the prayer of an innocent person, and the praise of Psalm 18 gives God the glory for His powerful deliverance.

This lecture follows the workbook lessons on Psalms 17 and 18. This weekly women’s Bible study includes my lectures which coordinate with the study guide “Come, Let Us Worship” which can be found on  Amazon. Click here for more information on this study. 

The  Psalms prompt us to turn to the Lord and see that He is with us every  moment of our lives, sovereign, faithful, loving, wise, and  worthy of all our devotion. They remind us that the Lord God is our great and glorious King who one day will reign on the earth. While we wait for  Him, and when we see Him… come, let us worship the King.
