Based on Psalm 55
David turns to God in prayer when he is being slandered and he wants to run away from everyone.
David is especially upset because he is being slandered by a person he thought was his friend, and even a fellow believer.
This person was very friendly at first, but it was fake.
David decides to put his burden on Jehovah, that Jesus might help him keep going.
David appeals to God to throw them alive into the pit/hell of destruction, an early reference to Gehenna/the lake of fire where God will indeed punish the wicked.
We can be betrayed by fellow believers and friends, who may even slander us though they have a plastic smile initially. We do not need to put up with this, we can trust in Jesus and let him punish them without trying to get back at them.
Is there someone who has betrayed you? Do you still need to forgive and move on? You do not need to forget, you can learn from this and no longer work with that person.
