Application
David seems to be experiencing a situation where people who may have been supporting him outwardly are now relishing in his problems and/or turning on him.
David is praying that God would deliver justice against those who have have turned on him.
Note that David does not try to deliver justice himself but relies on God.
He is trusting in the promises of God.
psalm 35:
God delivers the oppressed from those who unjustly treat them.
David also is relying on God and knows that whatever happens is God’s will.
God despises injustice and those who wrong others were subject to punishment under Jewish Law.
Therefore David was praying that God’s will be done against them.
We should always ask ourselves what God is trying to show us when we read a Bible passage.

What is God trying to show you in this Psalm?
How do you respond when someone you thought was a friend seems to turn on you or change?
Do you get angry with the person or do you ask God to handle it and rest in his promise that those that the unjust and those who do evil will receive their just punishment?
Do you praise God for this or think of ways to get back at them?
Maybe act angry towards them or ignore them.
