Turn to Prayer, Not Revenge
When faced with mockery and slander, the psalmist models the righteous response. Instead of retaliating or despairing, he turns to God in prayer. Commentators like Calvin and Barnes highlight this as a sign of profound spiritual strength, showing that our refuge is not in winning arguments with mockers but in communion with God.
