David resorteth unto God, in confidence of his integrity.
A Psalm of David.
Title.— לדוד ledavid, in this psalm David asserts his innocence so strongly, that we may conclude it was made before the preceding psalm, agreeably to the observation made on the title of that psalm. Theodoret supposes that David wrote it while he was among the Philistines, or in some other strange country, into which he was for some time forced by the persecution of Saul.
Psalms 26:1. Judge me, O Lord— Plead for me, O Lord.
