1021 (Title.) A Psalm. This Psalm is almost word for word the same as the five last verses of Psalm

40; and it is written as a part of the succeeding Psalm in about

27 MSS. Both Psalm evidently appear to have been written by David during the rebellion of Absalom, and probably at the crisis when he heard of the sanguinary counsel which Ahithophel had given respecting him; or, as some suppose, when beyond Jordan.

2 Samuel 17:1-21 Moreover Ahithophel said to Absalom, Let me now choose out twelve thousand men, and I will arise and pursue after David this night...
