David prays for deliverance from his enemies. He is confident that the LORD will deliver him.
A confession that I often hear is that someone feels guilty for praying that their enemies be stopped in their tracks, no matter what that entails. They feel guilty about this kind of prayer. As we read through Psalms, we're going to find that David, God's chosen, prays this type of prayer quite a bit.
There are a lot of foes that will try to put an end to the work of the LORD through His servants. It is, I think, quite appropriate to pray for protection that His work be continued through us.
One thing that I would remind us all of, though, is that even as we might be praying that our enemies might be stopped, they may well be praying that we be stopped in our tracks, as well. And... God may answer. None of us are without sin. Ask yourself, who really is the enemy of the LORD here? Is it I or those who oppose me?
May God deliver and continue to sustain us both night and day. May His blessing be upon His people.
