“I look to you for protection. I will hide beneath the shadow of your wings until the danger passes by.”
David was in a very precarious position, running from the king who was out to kill him, hiding in a cave hoping to lose his pursuers.
He could easily have been so drained by this situation that there was no emotional strength left to pray, no ability to “step outside” his circumstances, so to speak, and consider them from God’s eternal perspective. But somehow he was able to, and this psalm of confidence and trust is a testimony to that.
