Psalm 55:9–15, “Destroy, O Lord, and divide their tongues: for I have seen violence and strife in the city. Day and night they go about it upon the walls thereof: mischief also and sorrow are in the midst of it. Wickedness is in the midst thereof: deceit and guile depart not from her streets. For it was not an enemy that reproached me; then I could have borne it: neither was it he that hated me that did magnify himself against me; then I would have hid myself from him: But it was thou, a man mine equal, my guide, and mine acquaintance. We took sweet counsel together, and walked unto the house of God in company. Let death seize upon them, and let them go down quick into hell: for wickedness is in their dwellings, and among them.”

David’s enemies were united against him and he asked the Lord to make them fight amongst themselves so that they wouldn’t be attacking him. They were plundering David’s people and causing many problems for the people as well. He trusted people and, in fact, went to worship the Lord with them but later they came to attack him. His own friends and trusted advisors conspired together against him. David asked the Lord to bring vengeance on those people.
