PSALM 35



THE ARGUMENT



This Psalm was penned by David when he was slandered and persecuted by Saul and his stewards, as is manifest from the whole body of it.



David prayeth for his own safety, Psa_35:1,2, and his enemies’ destruction, Psa_35:3-10; showeth their falsehood, and unthankfulness, and malice, Psa_35:11-21. He prayeth for their confussion, Psa_35:22-26; but for the preservation and joy of the godly, Psa_35:27,28.



Seeing I am unable to right myself and the magistrates refuse to do me justice, be thou my Patron and Protector.
