A.M. 2944. B.C. 1060.
The matter of this Psalm plainly declares the occasion of it to have been the oppressions and persecutions of God's people by wicked and cruel enemies, against whom the psalmist prays for divine aid. The latter Greeks ascribe it to David, and it is thought to be an exact description of Saul and his courtiers, who abused their authority to all manner of oppression and violence, especially against David, without any fear of God, or thoughts that he would call them to an account, as he complains in several other Psalms, particularly the fifty-seventh, fifty-eighth, and fifty-ninth. He shows the danger and folly of persecuting the children of God, Psalms 94:1-11. Gives the persecuted assurance that God would deliver them, Psalms 94:12-23.
