David had a lot going on in his life. In Psalm 17 he is facing some serious trouble so he calls out to God. He pleads from his integrity and about his enemy, but looks beyond his troubles to what he knows will one day happen, being in the presence of God. That’s worth all the trials he was facing. What a great reminder. Yes, cry out to God when going through trouble, but look beyond that knowing that what we’re going through now is only temporary because looking forward to being in God’s presence is eternal.
