yet I cannot think that this comes up to the full meaning of the Words of the Text.

In short, As the Passage I have now mentioned does I think plainly enough argue that this Psalm was a Thanksgiving for some Deliverance which God had vouchsafed to him since he was King of Israel; so we may reasonably conclude from the Acknowledgment which he makes in the Beginning of it, of his being at last Peaceably Settled in the Throne, as a Blessing which He had but newly received of Him, that it was a Deliverance from some Danger which befell him not long after his solemn Inauguration at Hebron, 2 Sam. V. And the Character which he gives us of his Enemies in two places of this Psalm, that They were Strange Children, whose mouth did speak Vanity;

Now this will lead us to a very probable Account of the Occasion and Design of the Psalm before Us. For in the second of Sam.
