Summary: The psalmist looks too God like He is his master, expecting God to care for him in the face of those who pride themselves in being self-reliant.
Response: I notice the writer, David or not, isn't condemning those who would hurt him physically this time. Instead, it's those who don't put trust in God. Even though they do nothing direct to him, the psalmist wants God to save him from them.
I wonder if I treat self-reliance like that, like something to be avoided. After all, God gives the power to do anything, and without that, we aren't capable of much. I wonder how often I can start to ask for this assistance in doing what He has called me to do.
