Psalms 3:1

PSALM 3 Composed by David, as this phrase implies, Psalms 110:1, compared with Matthew 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, Psalms 3:1,2; but comforteth himself with his confidence in and reliance on God, Psalms 3:3; and the manifold experiences of his former assistance, Psalms 3:7. He prayeth for his own and the church's salvation, Psalms 3:8. He might well say so; for almost all his people joined in the conspiracy.
