The concept of enemies being "ashamed and dismayed" suggests a reversal of fortune, where those who oppose the righteous will face humiliation and confusion. This is consistent with the biblical principle that God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble (<a href="/james/4-6.htm">James 4:6</a>). The cultural context of ancient Israel often involved conflicts with surrounding nations, and the psalmist's enemies could be both personal and national. Theologically, this can be seen as a foreshadowing of the ultimate defeat of evil, as prophesied in <a href="/revelation/20-10.htm">Revelation 20:10</a>, where Satan and his forces are finally vanquished.<p><b>they will turn back in sudden disgrace.</b><br>The imagery of enemies turning back suggests a retreat or a change in their plans, indicating that their efforts against the psalmist have failed. The term "sudden disgrace" implies an unexpected and swift downfall, which is a common motif in biblical narratives where God intervenes on behalf of His people. This can be connected to the story of the Exodus, where Pharaoh's army was suddenly and decisively defeated at the Red Sea (<a href="/exodus/14-26.htm">Exodus 14:26-28</a>). In a broader theological sense, this phrase can be seen as a type of Christ's ultimate victory over sin and death, where the forces of evil are put to shame through His resurrection (<a href="/colossians/2-15.htm">Colossians 2:15</a>). The assurance of divine justice and protection is a recurring theme throughout Scripture, providing comfort and hope to believers facing opposition.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/d/david.htm">David</a></b><br>Traditionally attributed as the author of <a href="/bsb/psalms/6.htm">Psalm 6</a>, David is expressing his deep distress and seeking God's intervention against his enemies.<br><br>2. <b><a href="/topical/e/enemies.htm">Enemies</a></b><br>The adversaries of David, who are causing him distress and whom he believes will ultimately face shame and disgrace.<br><br>3. <b><a href="/topical/g/god.htm">God</a></b><br>The divine being whom David calls upon for deliverance and justice against his enemies.<br><br>4. <b><a href="/topical/i/israel.htm">Israel</a></b><br>The nation over which David ruled, often facing external threats and internal strife.<br><br>5. <b><a href="/topical/t/the_psalmist's_lament.htm">The Psalmist's Lament</a></b><br>The broader context of <a href="/bsb/psalms/6.htm">Psalm 6</a>, where David is lamenting his situation and pleading for God's mercy.<div class="vheading2">Teaching Points</div><b><a href="/topical/t/trust_in_divine_justice.htm">Trust in Divine Justice</a></b><br>Believers are encouraged to trust that God will ultimately bring justice and vindication, even when facing adversaries.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/t/the_power_of_prayer.htm">The Power of Prayer</a></b><br>David's example shows the importance of turning to God in times of distress and seeking His intervention.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/t/the_consequences_of_opposing_god's_people.htm">The Consequences of Opposing God's People</a></b><br>The fate of David's enemies serves as a warning about the consequences of opposing those who are aligned with God's purposes.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/p/patience_in_suffering.htm">Patience in Suffering</a></b><br>While waiting for God's justice, believers are called to be patient and steadfast in their faith.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/t/the_assurance_of_god's_protection.htm">The Assurance of God's Protection</a></b><br>This verse reassures believers of God's protective hand over their lives, even when surrounded by enemies.<div class="vheading2">Lists and Questions</div><a href="/top10/lessons_from_psalm_6.htm">Top 10 Lessons from Psalm 6</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/q/bible_miracle_examples.htm">What does the Bible teach about hate?</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/q/how_does_psalm_70_2-3_align_with_loving_enemies.htm">How does Psalm 70:2-3's call for enemies to be put to shame align with New Testament teachings on loving one's enemies?</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/q/why_does_psalm_43_2_imply_god_forsakes.htm">Why does Psalm 43:2 suggest God has forsaken the writer, when other passages emphasize God's constant presence?</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/q/how_does_the_bible_handle_negativity.htm">What does the Bible say about handling negativity?</a><a name="commentary" id="commentary"></a><div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/ellicott/psalms/6.htm">Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers</a></div>(10) <span class= "bld">Let all mine enemies.</span>--Better rendered either by the present or future.

As Hengstenberg says, "David sees his enemies, who are gathered around him for the attack, all at once in alarm give way." And be ashamed suddenly.
