As Christians, do we see parallels between the young David and a surrounded Israel in the 21st Century? Do we see both of them needing more powerful protectors from the Giants who would like to crush them? Is the request made in David's Psalm heard by God, today, as Israel's prayer?

Does the God who stood behind David stand behind Israel?

Psalms 35:1 Plead my cause, O LORD, with them that strive with me: fight against them that fight against me. Psalms 35:2 Take hold of shield and buckler, and stand up for mine help. Psalms 35:3 Draw out also the spear, and stop the way against them that persecute me: say unto my soul, I am thy salvation. Psalms 35:4 Let them be confounded and put to shame that seek after my soul: let them be turned back and brought to confusion that devise my hurt. Psalms 35:5 Let them be as chaff before the wind: and let the angel of the LORD chase them.
