Psalm 140: Cry of A Soul

This is a psalm of David to cry out to God in a time of trouble, and that trouble was the slander against him when he escaped from Saul’s court.

1.  Seeking God’s Deliverance (Psalm 140:1–5).

The Prayer for Deliverance from Evil Men (Psalm 140:1–3).
David experienced suffering under the presence and pressure of evil men. He composed many psalms out of the suffering they caused him. These evil men continually plotted against him in their hearts, gathering together for war against him and sharpening their tongues like serpents. He prayed to the Lord to deliver him from them.
