Background
Psalm 140 is in the Deuteronomy Book of the Psalms (Psalms 107-150). These 44 Psalms, like the Book of Deuteronomy in the Old Testament, show God’s Word as the source of salvation, deliverance, and healing. This would be fully carried out in the life of the coming Messiah, the living Word, Jesus Christ. Psalm 140 shows the Messiah in his constant struggle with evil and violent men. Yet, His loving Father would save and protect him, bringing the ultimate and eternal victory!
