It’s easy to grow weary when people don’t treat you fairly or when you experience firsthand someone’s cruelty. King David dealt with all kinds of evil in his road to becoming the king of Israel and more than likely wrote Psalm 140 during that difficult season. The psalm is not directed at one specific evil, but rather all evil, much like Jesus taught his disciples to pray in the model prayer. Evil is a very real part of life for every generation. No one is immune from injustice and hostility. Let’s look at Psalm 140 and allow them to teach us how to pray for God to “deliver us from evil.”
