📚 Historical Context
This psalm is attributed to David during a time of great personal betrayal, possibly when his trusted counselor Ahithophel joined Absalom's rebellion against him. David was experiencing deep anguish from being betrayed by close friends and facing enemies who sought his life. In this context, David contrasts his response to crisis with that of his enemies - while they plot evil, he chooses to turn to God in prayer.
