This poor man cried— This seems to be the triumph of David's afflicted friends for his safe return, says Chandler. "This distressed man cried and sought the help of God, when he was in the greatest straits at Gath, as being in danger of destruction if he stayed there, and yet not knowing how to escape: but God heard his cry, and delivered him out of them all." The angel of the Lord, in the next verse, does not mean a single angel; but a commanding angel, ordering his forces to encamp round about those whom God commissions him to preserve in safety. Dr. Delaney supposes these two verses to allude to Jacob, who was at Mahanaim protected by two armies of angels; or perhaps, more particularly, to the many distresses from which the Psalmist himself was delivered by the gracious interposition of God.
