Psalm 35 has 28 verses, which can be divided into three sections. The poet skillfully outlines three scenes with his wonderful brushwork, and these three paragraphs have a common feature: they all start with sincere prayers and end with confident praise.
Section 1 to 10 is the first paragraph and the first scene of the poem. The poet describes the god on the battlefield, implores him to go out and expects him to defeat Saul's persecution. The verse 1 1 to 18 is the second paragraph and the second scene of the poem. The poet describes the god in the temple, prays for his comfort, and expects him to fight back against the false accusations of his friends. Verses 19 to 28 are the third paragraph and the third scene of the poem. The poet described God in court to plead with God, expecting him to quell the attack of public opinion.
This poem is the poet David's prayer in adversity. Faced with the persecution of Saul, the frame-up of friends and the attack of public opinion, the poet did not choose revenge, but came to God alone and prayed for his help. In that kind of adversity, the poet still insists on the confidence that "my heart must rely on the Lord to be happy" and resolves hatred with the help of God, which is worth following.
