Psalms 86:14

Again, though the Psalmist may be referring to personal circumstances, it is not impossible that he is alluding to dangers by which the community was threatened.

It should be noted that Psalms 54. is quoted in its -Elohistic" form, so that apparently the collection had already been made and edited by the Elohistic editor.
