Background

Psalms 61-72 complete the Exodus book in Psalms and show the Messiah’s great atoning work.

This Psalm includes the title “when he was in the wilderness of Judah.” I Samuel 22:5  says that “the prophet Gad said unto David, Abide not in the hold; depart, and get thee into the land of Judah. Then David departed, and came into the forest of Hareth.” Of another occasion, I Samuel 23:14  says that “David abode in the wilderness in strong holds, and remained in a mountain in the wilderness of Ziph. And Saul sought him every day, but God delivered him not into his hand.”
