King David was going through another battle. He needed deliverance from an attacking enemy (vv.1-4). David’s enemies had hidden snares to trap him.

What do you do when you face the situation—when evil, violent, lying people are busy setting traps for you? Remember that God hears you (v.6). God also strengthens you (v.7). If you have to do battle against the enemy today, let God outfit you in the armour you need. Finally, God vindicate you. David prayed that God would vindicate him and that his enemies own sin would destroy them.

David concluded by giving thanks to the Lord (vv.12,13). The battle over, he said, “One day I’m going to dwell in Thy presence, where there will be no more lying, slandering, battling, fighting or sinning.” We will enjoy the peace of God forever

If you are a believer, God has already delivered you from the penalty of sin. Today He works to deliver you from sins effect. Perhaps enemies are slandering your reputation. Call upon the Lord for help. He will hear you, strengthen you and vindicate you. Let him give, you the victory today.
