PSALM 64
THE ARGUMENT
The matter of this Psalm plainly declares that it was made in a time when David was greatly distressed and reproached; which he was both under Saul, and in the time of Absalom’s rebellion.
The psalmist complaining of his enemies, and describing their crafty and wicked practices, prayeth unto God for guard and deliverance, Psa_64:1-6; foretelleth also their utter ruin, to the honour of God, and joy of the righteous, Psa_64:7-10.
From fear, i.e. from danger; the act or passion of fear being oft put for its object, danger, as Psa_14:5 1Pe_3:14, and oft elsewhere.
