Psalm 141
Several times in David’s life, there were people trying to kill him. David would confess his own wrong, seeking mercy and protection from God. “God help me!” David sings as a prayer. We hear David’s humanity, (verse 7 could be translated like this), “They are on their way to Hell. Let there be no respectful burial for them.” Psalm 141, gives us a window into David’s human nature, for better or worse. In keeping with this Psalm, we ask God to guide what we say and what we do not say. We pray that God helps us receive correction from godly people. It will benefit us. Our God is our help in times of need.
