The psalmist recounts his experience of being persecuted by rulers without cause. Despite not breaking any law or harming others, he faces unjust suffering, with no opportunity for appeal. In his pain, he turns to God in prayer. Significantly, these trials do not diminish his reverence for God’s word.
