Psalm 55:16–23, “As for me, I will call upon God; and the LORD shall save me. Evening, and morning, and at noon, will I pray, and cry aloud: and he shall hear my voice. He hath delivered my soul in peace from the battle that was against me: for there were many with me. God shall hear, and afflict them, even he that abideth of old. Selah. Because they have no changes, therefore they fear not God. He hath put forth his hands against such as be at peace with him: he hath broken his covenant. The words of his mouth were smoother than butter, but war was in his heart: his words were softer than oil, yet were they drawn swords. Cast thy burden upon the LORD, and he shall sustain thee: he shall never suffer the righteous to be moved. But thou, O God, shalt bring them down into the pit of destruction: bloody and deceitful men shall not live out half their days; but I will trust in thee.”

David decided that it was better for him to pray to the Lord and bring his problems to God. He decided to pray about the things that troubled him in the morning, the evening and during the day as well. Even though he could find no security among his advisors and trusted friends, he knew that the Lord had always been his friend and delivered him from every trial. He knew that God would bring evil consequences upon those who acted with evil, selfish and destructive intent. While his enemies spoke kind and encouraging words they were secretly plotting his demise. The Lord would bring them to the place that they had chosen when they decided to reject the Lord.
