Psalm 17 is a prayer by David with three parts: a personal cry for help against enemies, an expectant cry for God's protection and deliverance from those surrounding him, and an expression of confidence in God despite the difficulties. The document also calls for prayers for persecuted Christians in Iraq and for conversions of leaders of IS in Iraq, similar to the Apostle Paul's conversion.
