This Psalm also must he referred to the time of David’s persecution by Saul. It is a humble prayer that God would deliver him from the rage and malice of his enemies, and from those sins to which he might be inclined or provoked upon that occasion.
David prayeth that he might be heard and comforted, Psa_141:1,2; that his service might be sincere, Psa_141:3-6, and his life safe from the snares of his adversaries, Psa_141:7-10.
