At this point in Psalm 17, David had been anointed as king, but Saul was still ruling over Israel. Saul was pursuing David to kill him and David must have been stressed, hiding from Saul. David must also have desired to sit on the throne, but he did not dare harm Saul. 1 Samuel 26:7-12. Yet David still focused on eternity. That to him seemed the ultimate fulfillment of his heart’s desire. Psalm 17:15.
