PSALM 140
DELIVER ME, O LORD, FROM EVIL MEN
David asks God to protect him from evil, violent men. While David is praying for protection, he reminds himself that God has previously protected him from Goliath and Saul’s multiple attempts to kill him. David refers to God protecting his head in battle, covering the most vulnerable and valuable part of his body.
David asks God to deliver him from evil, which is the same language that Jesus uses when teaching His disciples to pray in Matthew 6:13.
David praises God for His mercy, strength, and salvation. Trusting that the upright will dwell in God’s presence, David values nearness and intimacy with God.
Psalm 140:7 ESV - "O Lord, my Lord, the strength of my salvation, you have covered my head in the day of battle."
