This is an imprecatory psalm of David. That is it invokes God's judgement on David's enemies. David starts calling on the Lord to come to his aid and put to shame those who want to kill him. He prays that ruin should overcome his enemies by surprise because then he will rejoice in the Lord. David continues to point out his enemies' persecution who slander him without ceasing, maliciously mock him and seek his life like lions! David continues to invoke God's action against those that devise false accusations against him. He calls on God to awake and rise in his defence. "May all who gloat over his distress be put to shame", and may all his supporters shout for joy seeing his vindication.
