The Song of the Innocent (Ps. 17)

[Sung Psalm: 16]

Psalm 17 helps us to give voice to the frustration and agony of life in a world where the innocent often suffer – where we frequently experience the pain that comes from other people sinning against us.

If you read Psalm 17 without Jesus, you might be tempted to think, “I alone am innocent – everyone else around me is an idiot!”

But if you read Psalm 17 in the light of Jesus, then you must see him first as the innocent one – the one who suffered because of what you did!
