The occasion of the Psalm: David flees from his son Absalom (2 Samuel 15:13ff)
The Problem of Sin and Its Many Pitfalls (1-2) "the many" Aggressive - "set themselves all around" Acrimonious - "rising against me" Accusatory - "Saying: there is no salvation for him in God"

The Pattern of the Saints and the Faithful One Who Blesses (8) "Salvation belongs to the LORD"
