Psalms 142:1-4
well-written song ... David <04905 01732> [A.M. 2942. B.C. 1062. (Title.) Maschil of David. or, A]
Psalm of David giving instruction.
prayer <08605> [A Prayer.]
David was twice in great peril in caves: on one occasion, in the cave of Adullam, when he fled from Achish king of Gath; and on another, in the cave of Engedi, where he had taken refuge from the pursuit of Saul. It is not certain to which of these events this Psalm refers; though probably to the former.
