Prayer and Praise for Deliverance from Enemies

A Meditation of David, which he sang to the Lord concerning the words of Cush, a Benjamite.

1 O Lord my God, in You I put my trust;
aSave me from all those who persecute me;
And deliver me, 
2 aLest they tear me like a lion,
bRending me in pieces, while there is none to deliver. 
3 O Lord my God, aif I have done this:
If there is biniquity in my hands, 
4 If I have repaid evil to him who was at peace with me,
Or ahave plundered my enemy without cause, 
5 Let the enemy pursue me and overtake me;
Yes, let him trample my life to the earth,
And lay my honor in the dust. Selah
6 Arise, O Lord, in Your anger;
aLift Yourself up because of the rage of my enemies;
bRise up1 for me to the judgment You have commanded! 
7 So the congregation of the peoples shall surround You;
For their sakes, therefore, return on high.
8 The Lord shall judge the peoples;
aJudge me, O Lord, baccording to my righteousness,
And according to my integrity within me. 
9 Oh, let the wickedness of the wicked come to an end,
But establish the just;
aFor the righteous God tests the hearts and1 minds. 
10 1My defense is of God,
Who saves the aupright in heart. 
11 God is a just judge,
And God is angry with the wicked every day.

Psalms 7:3

If I have done this - David was accused by Saul of affecting the kingdom; and of waiting for an opportunity to take away the life of his king, his patron, and his friend. In his application to God he refers to these charges; meets them with indignation; and clears himself of them by a strong appeal to his Judge; and an imprecation that, if he had meditated or designed any such thing, he might meet with nothing but curse and calamity either from God or man.
