PUT YOUR HOPE IN THE LORD GUARDIAN
OF OUR FAITH
Key
verse 55:23
The pslamist is suffering in his soul due the infidelity of God's people towards Him. It's not his enemies but his friends who are against him. However, when he prays God restores his soul and he confirms this by putting his trust in Him.

1.
Harken to my prayer (1-8)
David was in such a terrible situation that he wanted to flee far away from the world. He wanted to go hide in the desert so that no one would see him. Even though he prayed God to save him, he could not stop himself from feeling an enormous pressure on his soul. He confessed that if God gave his wings, he would flee far from the town. However, the pslamist finally realised that fleeing was not the solution. Had it been his enemies then he could have fled but given that it was his friends who were flowing him like white on rice, he had to stay.

2. My
friends turn against me (9-24)
Had it been
his enemy, david would have already fled far away without any hesitation.
However, given that it was his friends who were chasing him, he could not
do anything. If he went into the desert, they would follow him whilst smiling
and hiding their true colours. Their real weapon was their tongue that was like
a sort of poison (Rm 3:13,14). They had very gentle and milky tongues that were
useful to beguile others. Truly their dail bread was trickery, fraud and fraud
(11,12). However, suddenly in the midst of this terrifying situation, God came
to help him. God gave him an inner peace. David's friends acted very harmfully
and destructively agaist him. However, God listens to the just man's prayer and
He punishes the wicked who lie and break His alliance. Their fondamental
problem was in the 20. They are not afraid of God and thus their behaviour does
not change given that they know not how to repent. That is very discouraging.
However, the pslamist advises us to put our hope in the Lord. the Lord never
abandons the just. He is his stronghold. For God punishes the wicked and
rewards the just. Let us put our hope in the
Lord.
