Psalms 35:13 (KJV)
Commentary on Psalms 35:13
David's response to enemies' sickness demonstrates covenant love transcending personal grievance. Sackcloth and fasting expressed genuine intercession, yet his prayer 'returned into mine own bosom' suggests either unanswered prayer or blessing rebounding to himself. This models Christ's command to love enemies and pray for persecutors (Matthew 5:44), proving that righteous character persists regardless of others' responses.
