Mike D's comment on 2015-06-06 04:03:51:

verse 23 seems to be a continuation of thought from verse 22. The psalmist is facing unjust accusations and it seems to be coming from those of some prominence and position. Many times as believers we stand alone and it 's at that time we find comfort in the scriptures. One thing for sure, God will vindicate those who honor Him and stay true to Him, whether in this life or the life to come.
