Psalm 17:8–15, “Keep me as the apple of the eye, hide me under the shadow of thy wings, From the wicked that oppress me, from my deadly enemies, who compass me about. They are inclosed in their own fat: with their mouth they speak proudly. They have now compassed us in our steps: they have set their eyes bowing down to the earth; Like as a lion that is greedy of his prey, and as it were a young lion lurking in secret places. Arise, O LORD, disappoint him, cast him down: deliver my soul from the wicked, which is thy sword: From men which are thy hand, O LORD, from men of the world, which have their portion in this life, and whose belly thou fillest with thy hid treasure: they are full of children, and leave the rest of their substance to their babes. As for me, I will behold thy face in righteousness: I shall be satisfied, when I awake, with thy likeness.”
David was tired of being lied about and the whispering campaigns that were be carried on about him. He cried to the Lord that the Lord would keep him. In Moses Psalm (Deut 32: 10) he talked about the Lord keeping Israel as the apple of the eye. The expression actually means that the Lord is so close to His loved ones that they can see their own reflection in the pupil of His eye. His enemies are greedy and only interested in their own position so David called on the Lord to give them the fruit of their own desires. He longed that they might experience the suffering that they were causing other people, the good people. In the end, David knew that He would see the Lord in all His glory when he went to be with the Lord forever.
