Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Psalms 57:1

Be merciful unto me: the repetition implies both the greatness of his danger, and the fervency of his spirit in this request, and withal that his whole trust and hope was in God’s mercy. In the shadow of thy wings, i.e. of thy protection; to which alone I trust, and not to the shadow of this dark cave, in which I now hide myself. These calamities; or, the time of these calamities, which I know will shortly have an end. read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Psalms 57:1-11

This was anciently called the golden psalm, for it is the touchstone of illustration with regard to the cares of providence. While David was in the cave of Adullam, in the wilderness of Engedi, hiding from Saul, behold, Saul, leaving his adjacent army, entered the cave to cover his feet, and perceived not that David and his men were in the interior. See 1 Samuel 24:0. The title, Al-taschith, “destroy not,” refers to the charge of David to his men not to kill Saul, which they were eager to... read more
