Psalms 109:4
v. 4: Even in the middle of this trouble, David does not stop doing what is right. He says, But I give myself unto prayer (Psalm 109:4 a). David makes prayer a big part of his life. He prays for his enemies, even when they treat him badly. This shows that, as believers, we should never stop praying for others, even if they hurt us (1 Samuel 12:23 b). David’s devotion is strong; even if people laugh at him for praying, he keeps on doing it. David’s actions also point forward to Jesus, who was surrounded by hateful words and was persecuted without cause. Like David, Jesus prayed for His enemies, saying, Father, forgive them (Luke 23:34 c).
