Psalms 56:1 - Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary

Bible Comments

CONTENTS

The Psalmist is again before the throne in this Psalm. Though in distress from men, yet happy in communion with God. His plea is for the Lord to comfort him, while his enemies buffet him. And in the review of past mercies he finds confidence for future deliverances.

To the chief Musician upon Jonath-elem-rechokim, Michtam of David, when the Philistines took him in Gath.

Psalms 56:1

1 Be merciful unto me, O God: for man would swallow me up; he fighting daily oppresseth me.
