Psalm 55:18-21
Excerpted from: What Is Prayer?This word rib indicates a feeling, an emotion. It can be used in a situation as soft as to merely complain. If a person makes a complaint, it is the Hebrew word rib. David was complaining in this prayer. But it also means, "to grapple with, wrangle, fight an adversary, strive, or contend as with a judge."
That tells you what the context of the prayer is. David was overwrought emotionally. He was angry in this prayer. He was in despair—because one that he considered to be a very good friend had stabbed him in the back. He had betrayed him, betrayed his trust. He was deeply hurt and angry. Have you ever gone to God deeply hurt and angry and there was an intensity in your words that was not there at other times?
