Let the Reader keep in remembrance that this Psalm, like the three former is a Michtam, a golden; precious Psalm; and that it is addressed to the chief Musician. See the observations on this title in the fourth Psalm. And if read with an eye to Christ, it is indeed a Michtam of David. if the Reader wishes to see its utmost application to the person of David, he will find the part of his history to which, it refers, 1 Samuel 19:11. But who that reads the sorrows of Christ, in the persecutions of the Sauls of his day that arose against him, can leave the gospel to look for the explanation of this Psalm elsewhere?
