In the historical context of David's life, he faced numerous enemies, including King Saul and foreign nations. The fear of enemies claiming victory is a recurring theme in the Psalms, highlighting the struggle between the righteous and the wicked. Biblically, this echoes the broader narrative of God's people often being surrounded by adversaries, as seen in the stories of Israel's battles. Spiritually, it underscores the believer's reliance on God for deliverance, as human strength alone is insufficient. This plea for divine intervention is a reminder of the ultimate victory promised to God's people, as seen in <a href="/romans/8-37.htm">Romans 8:37</a>, where believers are assured they are "more than conquerors" through Christ.<p><b>and my foes rejoice when I fall.</b><br>The concern about foes rejoicing over one's downfall is a powerful expression of the shame and dishonor associated with defeat in ancient Near Eastern culture. In David's time, victory and defeat were not just personal but communal, affecting the reputation of one's family and nation. The rejoicing of enemies over a fall is a motif that appears throughout the Old Testament, such as in the lamentations over Jerusalem's destruction. This phrase also points to the spiritual battle between good and evil, where the forces of darkness seek to celebrate the stumbling of the righteous. In a typological sense, this can be seen in the life of Jesus Christ, who, despite being momentarily overcome by death, ultimately triumphed, turning the apparent victory of His foes into a profound defeat through His resurrection. This serves as a reminder of the hope and assurance believers have in Christ's ultimate victory over sin and death.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/d/david.htm">David</a></b><br>The author of <a href="/bsb/psalms/13.htm">Psalm 13</a>, David is expressing his deep distress and seeking God's intervention against his enemies.<br><br>2. <b><a href="/topical/e/enemies/foes.htm">Enemies/Foes</a></b><br>These are the adversaries of David, who are seeking to triumph over him and cause him distress.<br><br>3. <b><a href="/topical/g/god.htm">God</a></b><br>The ultimate source of help and deliverance for David, whom he is imploring for assistance.<div class="vheading2">Teaching Points</div><b><a href="/topical/d/dependence_on_god.htm">Dependence on God</a></b><br>David's plea in <a href="/psalms/13-4.htm">Psalm 13:4</a> reminds us of the importance of relying on God in times of distress.

He could therefore appeal to God - not in his own personal interest, but in the interest of truth and right, and the general good of mankind - to prevent his enemy's triumph. And those that trouble me rejoice when I am moved. There would be a general rejoicing on the part of all his foes, if his arch-enemy succeeded in seriously injuring him. <span class="p"><br /><br /></span><span class="versiontext"><a href="/commentaries/psalms/13-4.htm">Parallel Commentaries ...</a></span><span class="p"><br /><br /><br /></span><a name="lexicon" id="lexicon"></a><div class="vheading">Hebrew</div><span class="word">lest</span><br /><span class="heb">פֶּן־</span> <span class="translit">(pen-)</span><br /><span class="parse">Conjunction<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_6435.htm">Strong's 6435: </a> </span><span class="str2">Removal, lest</span><br /><br /><span class="word">my enemy</span><br /><span class="heb">אֹיְבִ֣י</span> <span class="translit">(’ō·yə·ḇî)</span><br /><span class="parse">Verb -
