He says, Lord , save me from all those who persecute me and deliver me (Psalm 7:1 ). David trusts God because God is his protector and friend. He feels that if God does not help, no one can. His enemies are like lions ready to tear him apart (2 Timothy 4:17 ). David knows only God can save him when he has no other help.
