Psalms 55 Life Application

Psalm 55:1

This psalm was most likely written during the time of Absalom's rebellion and Ahithophel's betrayal (2 Samuel 15-17). Some say verses 12-14 are messianic because they also describe Judas's betrayal of Christ (Mat 26:14-16, Mat 26:20-25).

Psalms 55:6-8

Even those who are especially close to God, as David was, have moments when they want to escape from their problems and pressures.
