When David wrote the psalm he was being sorely prosecuted by his enemies. He was praying for them; they were preying on him. Yet throughout the psalm he expresses some rather vehement thoughts. David was not seeking personal revenge. He was above that. Instead, he was praying as God’s anointed king, concerned about the needs of his people.

I like the way Psalm 109 ends in verses 30,31. Praise can change a negative situation. It helps us see more clearly and left our hearts to the Lord when the world around us seems so difficult.

David not only praises God. That’s a good way to get victory. Instead of thinking constantly about the problem in life, let’s go out and tell others about the One who solves them.

Then he makes a third resolution. God is standing at our right-hand (v.31). At the right hand of God is Jesus Christ, our heavenly High Priest, our Advocate. So let’s not be afraid. Let’s not be better. Let’s praise the Lord and realise that He is at our right hand, and we dare not trust anyone or anything but Him

To trust God when you are surrounded by enemies requires that you walk by faith, not sight. Perhaps you are in a similar situation today. By a courageous act of your will, get your eyes off your enemies and begin praising God. It can change your situation.
