I need an illustration or an example of these passage from bible scholars.

"Psalms 23:5: "Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies"
I think when our ways pleases God he can even use our enemies to bless us. Yes out enemies will be the last to expect good things for us. But when God is at work, that mouth that called you barren will call you mother of twins.

Can man rig against God?

If he rigged then God helped him rig!

Romans 13 1
Everyone must submit himself to the governing authorities, for there is no authority except that which God has established. The authorities that exist have been established by God.

God doesn't appoint criminals..

you are a liar and have blasphemed against God..


When the righteous are in Authority
The people rejoice..

when criminals and evil doers are in Authority
The people live in despair, hunger, starvation and insecurity..
The Economy crumbles by the minute.. as the thieves loot steal and destroy..
buying luxurious items for their families while fools defend them on social media because of tribalism and religious bigotry..
Before we continue, who appointed Judas?
And was Judas not a criminal?

What that verse means to me is that, if you put all your trust in the Lord, God Almighty in Heaven, alone and you do not worship another small god beside Him, you will have sure & outstanding victory over all your enemies, even if they hate, and are planning to take away your life, still, He will rescue ur soul and shame them, if you you don't fight them yourself
Believe His word and be saved

Stop being mischi evous bro.

All you need is to apply it to everyday life.

Have you not seen people wishing someone evil or bad but the person keeps getting better?
Re: Bible Scholars Should Explain Psalms 23:5 For Me by MicroSweet(m): 10:44am On Nov 19, 2023
It means that God will make you prosper and flourish even in the midst of hatred, adversity and unfavourable situations.

The explanation and current reality in the 21st century is very simple to understand.

It simply means making someone succeed in the first of those who wished him or her failure.

Example

Maybe there is someone in the family or anywhere who doesn't wish or desire to see a particular person's succeed all prosper in life but God intervenes in the life of that person and he becomes a success that everyone including the ones who wished him bad could see his success

This is where this saying came from

Let my enemies not die but let them stay alive to see what I will become

"Psalms 23:5: "Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies"
David Simply means that God has honoured him in the midst of his enemies. Despite those who have a negative report about him or working against him . He is favoured by God. I’ll bless who I will bless and curse whoever I want.
To personalize it - Despite those who are against your promotion at work . You are honoured .

Psalm 23:4 explains it..

23;5 means God shall grant you peace in the midst of your enemies, such that all the wicked things your enemies plan against you, work in your favor.

Remember the circumstances surrounding his battle with Goliath? Despite his enemies trying to overwhelm him, God somehow gives him victory las las!

"Psalms 23:5: "Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies"
What Does it Mean to 'Prepare a Table Before Me in the Presence of My Enemies'? From this description, we can make the conclusion that even in the presence of his enemies, David feels confident in the Lord and trusts in Him. Though his enemies are present, David has no reason to fear because God is with him.

"Psalms 23:5: "Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies"
David was actually mocking his brothers. They took him as unimportant but God made him dine with the King while they watch. This was when Saul invited him as he volunteered to challenge Goliath. But theologians will give it different meanings.

Just read the story of Mordecai in the book of Esther Chapter 6. That's typical example of the psalm you quoted

It is an assurance from God that even when you are in problem or facing difficulties, He will be there for you and you ll celebrate even in the presence of those that were expecting you to fail.

Remember Esther, Modecai and Hamman story
The story that came to my mind

You are missing the point. It has nothing to do with giving credit or not.
When it comes to spiritual conviction, how you see things matters so that you don't join the bandwagon of my pastor says, td jake says etc while they are teaching without having any personal conviction.
Okay, I understand you better now.
Thanks for the clarification
