Psalm 55: 8-21

Section Outline:
vs. 8-19 - A Broken Relationship
vs. 20-21 - Bitter Betrayal

In these verses, David asks God to avenge those that are against him. Those that were once friends (Ahithophel), and his son, Absalom. David states he would rather have enemies hate him than his friend and son.
David is giving Ahithophel and Absalom over to God because they will not change, and because they do not fear God.
