In the Bible King Saul didn't like and was jealous of David, the Isrealite. He wanted the favored warrior dead. David was on the run and being hunted down by Saul's men. His situation was tense and stressful, always fearful that someone near was going to kill him. I read in the Psalms his words and can relate to him somewhat.

Prayer for Defense against Enemies.

For the choir director; on stringed instruments. A Maskil of David, when the Ziphites came and said to Saul, "Is not David hiding himself among us?" 1 Save me, O God, by Your name,

And vindicate me by Your power.

2 Hear my prayer, O God;

Give ear to the words of my mouth.

3 For strangers have risen against me

And violent men have sought my life;

They have not set God before them. Selah.

4 Behold, God is my helper;

The Lord is the sustainer of my soul.

5 He will recompense the evil to my foes;

Destroy them in Your faithfulness.

6 Willingly I will sacrifice to You;

I will give thanks to Your name, O LORD, for it is good.

7 For He has delivered me from all trouble,

And my eye has looked with satisfaction upon my enemies.
