Psalms 17:5-9 reinforces my dependence upon the Lord. It reminds me that it is only Him who keeps me, not my own strength. Without the Lord, I would be devoured by those who would seek my destruction. Therefore, I must lean into Him more, further trusting in Him for my future. The verses follow, but you can read Psalm 17 here.
Hold up my goings in thy paths, that my footsteps slip not. I have called upon thee, for thou wilt hear me, O God: incline thine ear unto me, and hear my speech. Shew thy marvellous lovingkindness, O thou that savest by thy right hand them which put their trust in thee from those that rise up against them. 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.
