This is a huge area of concern for Christians. How is a Christian supposed to think, act, pray, when it doesn’t seem like they are being treated right, whether by Christians or unbelievers, or when someone specifically targets them for abuse? This Psalm gives us some answers.
We are often “surrounded” by enemies it seems, and sometimes it seems or even for a fact it might be that some particular person has their sights set on doing us harm personally. We should learn from David here in this Psalm how to pray in these situations. Surely we want them to stop, and we as Christians would like them to repent, forgive, and be forgiven, but we also want God to be the judge of those things, as we can deceive ourselves as to motive and action. How can we pray for deliverance, when slandered, set up, abused, etc., without being personally vindictive, remaining humble and trusting God so we can rest in His righteousness?
