Psalms 17

Psalms 17:10

They are inclosed in their own fat.

They are fat and well liking; pampering themselves with all the contentments and pleasures, that their heart can desire.

Psalms 17:14

From men (as in the margin) by thine hand, O Lord, from men of the world, which have their portion in this life, and whose belly thou fillest with thy kid treasures.

Save thou me, O Lord, by thy powerful hand, from the cruelty of men, even from worldly and blood-thirsty men; which have set up their rest here below, making no account of any other life after this, wherein to receive the retribution of good or evil; whom yet thou causest to abound with the choicest of all temporal and outward blessings, for their further judgment.

Psalms 17:15

As for me, I will behold thy face in righteousness; I shall be satisfied, when I awake, with thy likeness.

But as for me, I do no way envy this happiness of theirs, but rather am willingly content to suffer affliction here, since I am assured, I shall, one day, behold thy face in perfect beauty: when I shall awake out of my long sleep in the grave, I shall be fully satisfied with thy glorious presence; and, in the mean time, I shall comfortably hope to see thy deliverance of me, in thy just vindication from mine enemies; and when thou raisest me out of my great adversity, I shall be abundantly refreshed with thy loving countenance towards me.
