David encourageth himself in God against his enemies. The providence and justice of God.
To the chief musician. A Psalm of David.
Title.— לדוד למנצח lamnatseach ledavid. This Psalm was probably composed by David, when his friends advised him to avoid the evil designs of Saul and his other enemies, by sheltering himself in the mountains of Judea. In answer to this advice, contained in the three first verses, he is determined to put his trust in God, whose eyes were open upon what was doing; who would protect the good, and confound the wicked man. The dialogue form in which the Psalm is written, gives it great spirit and beauty.
