What does Psalm 6:10 mean?

David's despair, physical distress, and fear of his enemies vanished when the Lord answered his prayer for deliverance. Here, he demonstrates confidence in the Lord's vindication. He had been troubled (Psalm 6:4–7), but now David is confident that his enemies will be routed. Their efforts to destroy him would boomerang on them. They would be turned back and suddenly be put to shame.

Believers hold a guarantee of victory over the world, the flesh, and the Devil. Jesus promised, "I have said these things to you, that in me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation. But take heart; I have overcome the world" (John 16:33). The apostle Paul sounds a note of victory in Romans 8. After listing the troubles that believers experience: tribulation, distress, persecution, famine, nakedness, danger, and the sword, he exults: "In all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us" (Romans 8:37). Like David, believers today are on the winning side!
