David Describes His Enemies And His Sufferings
David describes his enemies and his sufferings. He compares them to cruel and insensitive beasts: bulls, the lion (vv. 13, 21), dogs (vv. 16, 20) and wild oxen (v. 21). When men reject God’s truth they become like beasts. Just imagine all these blood thirsty beasts surrounding a little worm! …

A Respect For God’s Handiwork
In this Psalm David rejoiced in God’s creation and the fact that the God of heaven, whose name is “excellentâ€, should use people to rule the earth (vv. 1, 9).
