David wrote this psalm when Saul had sent men to watch his house in order to kill him. "Deliver me from my enemies, O God", prayed David, "deliver me from evil doers... these bloodthirsty men lie in wait for me... I have done no wrong but they are ready to attack... O God show no mercy to wicked traitors"! These would-be assassins "snarl like dogs and prowl... spewing swords from their lips... but God laughs at them. You my loving God are my fortress... let these wicked men be caught in their pride... and it will be known that God rules"! "I will sing of your strength in the morning... for you are my fortress and refuge in times of trouble".
