Psalms 17:9 (KJV)
Commentary on Psalms 17:9
The 'deadly enemies' who 'surround' David are described with hunting imagery. The Hebrew 'shud' (destroy/devastate) indicates ruthless intent. Being surrounded ('sabab') creates desperation—no escape except divine intervention. This anticipates Christ surrounded by enemies at Gethsemane and crucifixion, yet trusting the Father. Reformed theology sees believers' enemies as ultimately spiritual powers requiring divine deliverance (Ephesians 6:12).
