55:15 This is a psalm of imprecation, or cursing (Pss 69; 94; 109; 139), in which the worshiper calls for God to severely punish his enemies. David had been betrayed by a former friend (vv. 12-14), which made his anguish even deeper. If the sentiments expressed here seem unworthy of a worshiper of a loving God, they are at least honest. God’s answer is to “cast your burden on the LORD” (v. 22), and not to take matters into your own hands.
