Ps. 35: God Will Vindicate

Psalm 35:12 "They repay me evil for good and leave my soul forlorn."

David's situation isn't just that he is being pursued. He is innocent of wrongdoing to other people, yet his character is on trial. In spite of the goodness and humility in which he treats people, when he in turn suffers, they mock and add insult upon insult. David, in verses 13 and 14 goes through the mourning process for people who in turn rejoice in his pain.

He appears also to be the victim of false accusation, being questioned by false witnesses about things he had no part of. What did he go on trial for? 

I can't imagine having to deal with this type of treatment. Here are more reasons why David really needed to reach out to God, to cry out to God in desperation, because only God could deliver him. Only God could preserve David's character and prove his innocence.
