Psalm 54:3 NKJV
For strangers have risen up against me
And oppressors have sought after my life.
They have not set God before them.
These men "do not set God before them"
in terms of doing His will or fearing His judgements.
In practice they are atheists.
As the Ziphites betrayed David ( 1 Kings 23:15-21 );-
Judas and the Jewish leaders betrayed Christ.
The psalmist expresses his real fear along with a cry for help.
He prays in faith in the midst of his danger
as did our Lord Jesus but our Lord was able to pray;-
"not my will but thine"
