Psalms 34:4 - Exposition

I sought the Lord, and he heard me. To "seek the Lord" is not merely to trust in him, but to fly to him, and make our requests of him in our troubles. David apparently speaks of some special occasion on which he "sought the Lord," and some special request which he made of him, but does not tell us what the occasion or request was. We may presume that it was in some way connected with his "escape to the cave Adullam" ( 1 Samuel 22:1 ). And delivered me from all my fears; literally, frown all the things which I feared (comp. Isaiah 66:4 ).
