Why, O Lord, are they multiplied that afflict me? many are they who rise up against me.
Radak
Lord, how are mine adversaries increased! – For even his son had turned against him for an enemy, and Amasa, his sister's son, was with Absalom, and the greater part of Israel, whose heart inclined after Absalom; and this is reason for the repetition. Many they are that are rising up against me: – All were rising up against him and were taking counsel to fight against him; and Shimei ben Gera even, who dared to reproach him and to pelt him with stones.
