A Prayer of Justified Confidence
Commentators like John Calvin note that the psalmist's plea is rooted in justice. By describing his enemies as 'wicked,' 'unrighteous,' and 'cruel,' he appeals to God as the defender of the unjustly oppressed. This gives believers confidence to pray boldly when they are wronged, trusting that God will defend their righteous cause.
