David addresses the mighty. He was probably referring to both Saul and Doeg. Many people were cruelly murdered. David is asking sarcastically: are you proud of what you have done? Throughout history, there have been mighty men
such as these—those who use their positions of power to advance themselves and oppress the poor. David does not rant and rage, nor does he plot revenge. He simply states the truth of their evil intentions.
1 Why do you boast of evil, O mighty man? The steadfast love of God endures all the day.
