span data-lang="jpn" data-trans="kyb" data-ref="psa.17.1" class="versetxt"> 1 主よ、正しい訴えを聞き、わたしの叫びにみ心をとめ、偽りのないくちびるから出るわたしの祈に耳を傾けてください。2 どうかわたしについての宣告がみ前から出て、あなたの目が公平をみられるように。3 あなたがわたしの心をためし、夜、わたしに臨み、わたしを試みられても、わたしのうちになんの悪い思いをも見いだされないでしょう。わたしの口も罪を犯しません。4 人のおこないの事をいえば、あなたのくちびるの言葉によって、わたしは不法な者の道を避けました。5 わたしの歩みはあなたの道に堅く立ち、わたしの足はすべることがなかったのです。6 神よ、わたしはあなたに呼ばわります。あなたはわたしに答えられます。どうか耳を傾けて、わたしの述べることをお聞きください。7 寄り頼む者をそのあだから右の手で救われる者よ、あなたのいつくしみを驚くばかりにあらわし、8 ひとみのようにわたしを守り、みつばさの陰にわたしを隠し、9 わたしをしえたげる悪しき者から、わたしを囲む恐ろしい敵から、のがれさせてください。10 彼らはその心を閉じて、あわれむことなく、その口をもって高ぶって語るのです。11 彼らはわたしを追いつめ、わたしを囲み、わたしを地に投げ倒さんと、その目をそそぎます。12 彼らはかき裂かんと、いらだつししのごとく、隠れた所にひそみ待つ子じしのようです。13 主よ、立ちあがって、彼らに立ちむかい、彼らを倒してください。つるぎをもって悪しき者からわたしのいのちをお救いください。14 主よ、み手をもって人々からわたしをお救いください。すなわち自分の分け前をこの世で受け、あなたの宝をもってその腹を満たされる世の人々からわたしをお救いください。彼らは多くの子に飽き足り、その富を幼な子に残すのです。15 しかしわたしは義にあって、み顔を見、目ざめる時、みかたちを見て、満ち足りるでしょう。

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Let my sentence come forth from thy presence,.... Not of condemnation, such as came forth from God and passed on Adam and all his posterity, Romans 5:12; though such an one was executed on Christ, as he was the surety and representative of his people; but of justification, which came forth from God and passed on Christ, when he rose from the dead, and upon his people in him, 1 Timothy 3:16. Here it chiefly designs the vindication of the innocence of the psalmist before men; and his request is, that as he was fully persuaded that he was clear of the things he was charged with in the sight of God, that he would openly and publicly make him appear so before men; that he would bring forth his righteousness as the light, and his judgment as the noonday, Psalms 37:6; and of which he made no doubt but he would; so Christ, though he was traduced by men, knew he should be justified by his Father, and by his children, Isaiah 50:8;

let thine eyes behold the things that are equal; which is not to be understood barely of the eyes of his omniscience; for these behold things both equal and unequal, good and evil, things which agree and disagree with the law of God, the rule of righteousness and equity; but of his approbation of them, and that he would some way or other testify that approbation; for the petition intends the favouring of his just and equal cause, and making it to appear to be so.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Let my sentence - Hebrew, “my judgment.” The allusion is to a judgment or sentence as coming from God in regard to the matter referred to in the psalm, to wit, the injuries which he had received from his enemies. He felt that they had done him injustice and wrong; he felt assured that a sentence or judgment from God in the case would be in his favor. So Job often felt that if he could bring his case directly before God, God would decide in his favor. Compare Job 23:1-6.

Come forth from thy presence - From before thee. That is, he asks God to pronounce a sentence in his case.

Let thine eyes behold - He asked God to examine the case with his own eyes, or attentively to consider it, and to see where justice was.

The things that are equal - The things that are just and right. He felt assured that his own cause was right, and he prays here that justice in the case may be done. He felt that, if that were done, he would be delivered from his enemies. As between ourselves and our fellow-men, it is right to pray to God that he would see that exact justice should be done, for we may be able to feel certain that justice is on our side, and that we are injured by them; but as between ourselves and God, we can never offer that prayer, for if justice were done to us we could not but be condemned. Before him our plea must be for mercy, not justice.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Psalms 17:2. My sentence come forth from thy presence — Thou knowest my heart, and my ways; judge me as thou shalt find; let me not fall under the judgment of man.

Let thine eyes behold the things that are equal. — Thou knowest whether I render to all their due, and whether others act justly by me. Thou canst not be deceived: do justice between me and my adversaries.
