1 David prays for favour in judgment.3 He complains of his griefs.5 He strengthens his faith by meditation and prayer.7 He prays for grace;9 for deliverance;10 for sanctification;12 for destruction of his enemies; (Title.) A Psalm.The LXX., Vulgate, Ethiopic, and Arabic state that this Psalm was composed by David on the rebellion of his son Absalom; and there are several passages in it which agree remarkably well with that period; for then he had most reason to fear lest God should deal with him according to his sins; which he deprecates with such a deep sense of his unworthiness, that it has hence been numbered among the penitential Psalms, of which it is the last. In it he prays to God for pardon, ver. 1; acknowledges the impossibility of being saved but by grace, ver. 2; deplores the lamentable effects of sin, ver. 3, 4; comforts himself with a retrospect of God's mercies of old, ver. 5; and prays, in a variety of expressions, for remission of sin, sanctification, and redemption, ver. 6-12. thy faithfulness.31:1; 71:2; 2Sa 7:25; Da 9:16; 1Jo 1:9 enter not.130:3; Job 14:3in thy sight.Ex 34:7; Job 4:17; 9:2,3; 15:14; 25:4; Ec 7:20; Ro 3:20; Ga 2:161Jo 1:10
