Chapter 109

David.

1st, David prays for help against his enemies.  David had real enemies, and lots of them apparently.  Perhaps this is a fact of life for those with massive political power.  There are always those who want to take it from you and they will do about anything to get it.

2nd, This section calls for the just punishments in the law towards those who told lies and made false accusations to bring people down.  To bring David down in this case.  The words are not about a specific person, nor about any political office, but about those who were trying to undermine David's place as king with their lies and deceit and scheming.  Here are a few of the verses:

[Psa 109:8-9 ESV] 8 May his days be few; may another take his office! 9 May his children be fatherless and his wife a widow!

[Psa 109:13 ESV] 13 May his posterity be cut off; may his name be blotted out in the second generation!

2021 - Looks like I totally missed this the first time.  This is quoted in the NT by Peter when he says they need a new "12th Apostle".  This is prophetically about Judas, a very specific man.  So the question is, should this NDP be prayed about anyone else?  Or has it done it's single task and finished already?

3rd, David prays that the evil intent of his enemies be visited on them instead.

2021 - David was speaking about his present circumstances.  Though Peter applied it to Judas, David was also speaking about his enemies in his own times.  This third stanza makes that very clear.  So yes, this is an NDP that we can pray.  I would go so far as to say we should pray it.

4th,   Prayer for God to intervene against the enemies because David is no longer physically able to do so.  He depends only on God for protection and help.

5th, Let the accusers receive the intended dishonor, and let all know that it is God who brought it about.

6th, Then I will give great praise to the Lord.

Vss 6-20 are a prayer asking God to return to David's accusers the things that they wish for him.  Surely we too can pray this prayer about those who want to undermine our country with violence and threats and crime.  It would be a good study to consolidate the prayers like this that David prayed about those trying to undermine his authority, which was undermining the civil authority of the land, and publish them on the website so others could pray that the violent receive what they dish out.
