Psalm 59:8–17, “But thou, O LORD, shalt laugh at them; thou shalt have all the heathen in derision. Because of his strength will I wait upon thee: for God is my defence. The God of my mercy shall prevent me: God shall let me see my desire upon mine enemies. Slay them not, lest my people forget: scatter them by thy power; and bring them down, O Lord our shield. For the sin of their mouth and the words of their lips let them even be taken in their pride: and for cursing and lying which they speak. Consume them in wrath, consume them, that they may not be: and let them know that God ruleth in Jacob unto the ends of the earth. Selah. And at evening let them return; and let them make a noise like a dog, and go round about the city. Let them wander up and down for meat, and grudge if they be not satisfied. But I will sing of thy power; yea, I will sing aloud of thy mercy in the morning: for thou hast been my defence and refuge in the day of my trouble. Unto thee, O my strength, will I sing: for God is my defence, and the God of my mercy.”

Even though David’s enemies had betrayed him, he knew that the Lord would not. David understood that the Lord is Sovereign and that His will always prevails. There are some people who suggest that the Lord is responsible for bad things happening but it is the Lord’s will that we get what we choose. David knew that the Lord would bless those who trusted in Him and He would bring those who reject Him to a random and arbitrary end, away from the benefits of His love.
