PSALM 3
Composed by David, as this phrase implies, Psa_110:1, compared with Mat_22:43, and generally elsewhere. When he fled, or, after he had fled. Either this Psalm was composed in his flight, or the matter of it was then in his thoughts; which afterwards he digested into this form and order.
The psalmist complaineth of the multitude of his enemies, Psa_3:1,2; but comforteth himself with his confidence in and reliance on God, Psa_3:3-6; and the manifold experiences of his former assistance, Psa_3:7. He prayeth for his own and the church’s salvation, Psa_3:8.
He might well say so; for almost all his people joined in the conspiracy.
