Back in the late 90s, I became a friend with someone who also provided ministry oversight at our church. We hung out together some afternoons, joked around with each other, got together with our wives a few times, and tried to be an encouragement to one another. I was initially cautious; (there was something just a little too political about him) but I tried to put that aside and be honest and sincere in our relationship.
After a few months, he was instrumental in having me removed from my position of ministry. He had been taking notes on things I said, then shared them with others, out of context from their original meaning.
What a betrayal! I thought we could trust one another. I thought that he was a safe person in whom to confide. It's still somewhat painful to remember.
So I can empathize with what David experienced. In this Psalm, King David tells us how difficult it was to experience the treachery of a friend. He sings of how trouble was brought upon him, and of the anguish he felt; oppression, fraud, enmity, torment, insolence. Oh, to escape it all! He longs for wings, to fly away into the wilderness, where he might find shelter from the raging winds of violence.
The Psalm offers peace to those who have experienced a similar offence: call upon God. Call upon Him morning and night, and pour out your heart to Him! As it says in verse 22:
22 Cast your burden on the Lord,
and he will sustain you;
he will never permit
the righteous to be moved.
Oh Lord, we lay our pain at your feet, asking you to save us, to pull us back from the brink, and to cause justice to be done in Your name. May our last words agree with King David's last words here: "but I TRUST in YOU."
Lord, we trust.
Amen.

Complaint about a Friend’s Treachery
To the leader: with stringed instruments. A Maskil of David.
1 Give ear to my prayer, O God;
do not hide yourself from my supplication.
2 Attend to me, and answer me;
I am troubled in my complaint.
I am distraught
3 by the noise of the enemy,
because of the clamour of the wicked.
For they bring trouble upon me,
and in anger they cherish enmity against me.
4 My heart is in anguish within me,
the terrors of death have fallen upon me.
5 Fear and trembling come upon me,
and horror overwhelms me.
6 And I say, ‘O that I had wings like a dove!
I would fly away and be at rest;
7 truly, I would flee far away;
I would lodge in the wilderness;
Selah
8 I would hurry to find a shelter for myself
from the raging wind and tempest.’
9 Confuse, O Lord, confound their speech;
for I see violence and strife in the city.
10 Day and night they go around it
on its walls,
and iniquity and trouble are within it;
11 ruin is in its midst; oppression and fraud
do not depart from its market-place.
12 It is not enemies who taunt me-
I could bear that; it is not adversaries who deal insolently with me-
I could hide from them.
13 But it is you, my equal,
my companion, my familiar friend,
14 with whom I kept pleasant company;
we walked in the house of God with the throng.
15 Let death come upon them;
let them go down alive to Sheol;
for evil is in their homes and in their hearts.
16 But I call upon God,
and the Lord will save me.
17 Evening and morning and at noon
I utter my complaint and moan,
and he will hear my voice.
18 He will redeem me unharmed
from the battle that I wage,
for many are arrayed against me.
19 God, who is enthroned from of old,
Selah
will hear, and will humble them-because they do not change,
and do not fear God.
20 My companion laid hands on a friend
and violated a covenant with me
21 with speech smoother than butter,
but with a heart set on war;
with words that were softer than oil,
but in fact were drawn swords.
22 Cast your burden on the Lord,
and he will sustain you;
he will never permit
the righteous to be moved.
23 But you, O God, will cast them down
into the lowest pit;
the bloodthirsty and treacherous
shall not live out half their days.
But I will trust in you.
