9. The foes from whom David sought to
be rescued were wicked. It is hopeful for us when our enemies are God’s
enemies. They were deadly enemies; they who war against our faith aim at
the very life of our life. Deadly sins are deadly enemies. These foes laid
David’s spirit waste, as invading armies ravage a country. He likens himself to
a besieged city. It may well quicken our business upward, when all around us,
every road, is blockaded by deadly foes. This is our daily position, for all
around us dangers and sins are lurking. O God, protect us from them all.
