The intense reality of our enemy is he seeks to kill and destroy. His confidence God would hear, see, answer, and restore him was solid. In dramatic detail, he was unafraid to pour his soul out at the feet of God. “This lament,” the NIV Study Bible notes explain, “is the psalmist's cry for help when his enemies spread malicious lies to destroy him.” David so often did this, emptied his heart out to the Lord. David is desperate for God’s help, and prayerfully recalls the character of God as he empties his heart out to God. Psalm 5, written by David, is an emotional plea for God to intervene in hard circumstances. ![]() But instead of getting caught up in the drama of these situations, it’s important to remember who our enemy is, and his goal. Attacks or slights against us can be incredibly hurtful and unfair. Sometimes, people simply don’t like us, for no real reason.
