The song finds David in a cave when he was fleeing a pursuing King Saul. I would guess that this cave in question refers to the Cave of Adullam in 1 Samuel 22. He had escaped from Gath, but was still in danger. Again, I briefly touched on it last summer. It follows the formula pretty closely. David is in danger. David is a afraid. David trusts God.
Someone saw fit to write that old praise song about it, "Be Exalted" based on the lyrics in the 57th Psalm. Other than that, there's less and less I can truly say about these Psalms on the surface. Uh, the language is nice? I wonder if these Psalms were all meant to be read consecutively.
