David suffered many times from evil men that were around him; those whom contemplated evil in their hearts! But, David went straight to the LORD for help! The LORD is his defense!

There are many people around us who even call themselves Christians, but their hearts are filled with evil thoughts. With their tongue they speak lies behind your back, and unknowingly they reject what the LORD wants to give them! A NEW HEART!
Eze 36:26, I WILL GIVE YOU A NEW HEART AND PUT A NEW SPIRIT WITHIN YOU; I WILL TAKE THE HEART OF STONE OUT OF YOUR FLESH AND GIVE YOU A HEART OF FLESH.
It’s a choice we all have to make; choose HIM or choose the way of this world!
Deu 30:19, I call heaven and earth as witnesses today against you, THAT I HAVE SET BEFORE YOU LIFE AND DEATH, BLESSING AND CURSING; THEREFORE CHOOSE LIFE, THAT BOTH YOU AND YOUR DESCENDANTS MAY LIVE;
If indeed you are a believer in CHRIST JESUS, then put away your former conduct. Remember, HE knows the thoughts and desires of your heart!
Eph 4:21-24, IF INDEED YOU HAVE HEARD HIM AND HAVE BEEN TAUGHT BY HIM, AS THE TRUTH IS IN JESUS: THAT YOU PUT OFF, CONCERNING YOUR FORMER CONDUCT, THE OLD MAN WHICH GROWS CORRUPT ACCORDING TO THE DECEITFUL LUSTS, AND BE RENEWED IN THE SPIRIT OF YOUR MIND, AND THAT YOU PUT ON THE NEW MAN WHICH WAS CREATED ACCORDING TO GOD, IN TRUE RIGHTEOUSNESS AND HOLINESS.
Pro 14:12, THERE IS A WAY THAT SEEMS RIGHT TO A MAN, BUT ITS END IS THE WAY OF DEATH.
