To you Yahweh, I call. My rock, be not silent to me. If you are silent to me, I will be like those who go down to the pit. King David is calling to God to save him from his neighbors, who speak peace to him, but their intentions are not genuine. The Lord will save His people. Trust in the Lord, and do good, then verily thou shall be fed. The Lord will protect His children forever.
