The Plea of a Clear Conscience
The psalmist repeatedly stresses that his enemies oppose him 'wrongfully' and 'without a cause.' Commentators like Calvin and Barnes note this isn't just a complaint, but the foundation of his appeal. By approaching God with a clear conscience about his own actions, David confidently asks for divine justice against the undeserved hostility he faces, providing a model for believers.
