Psalm 55 expresses the thoughts of David when he was persecuted by king Saul and many others in Israel and, under inspiration, he foretold the thoughts of Jesus when he likewise suffered at the hands of his contemporaries in Israel. In particular, David was betrayed by his trusted counsellor, a close friend, and Jesus too was betrayed by his companion and friend, Judas Iscariot. Both men were greatly distressed by this betrayal: “For it was not an enemy that reproached me; then I could have borne it: neither was it he that hated me that did magnify himself against me; then I would have hid myself from him: but it was thou, a man mine equal, my guide, and mine acquaintance. We took sweet counsel together, and walked unto the house of God in company”.vs.12-14Waiting for response for Psalms 55:12-14
