David professes his trust in God, his adherence to him
and love of his people, ver. 1-3. His satisfaction in God, ver. 4-7. He
speaks in the person of Christ, of Gods presence with him, of his
resurrection and the glory that should follow, ver. 8-11. Michtam of
David. Title of the psalm. Michtam - This seems to be a title belonging
to the musick or the song, which, with the rest, is now lost and
unknown. As David was both a member, and an eminent type, of Christ, he
speaks of himself sometimes in the one and sometimes in the other
capacity: and therefore having spoken of himself as a member of Christ,
in the former part of the psalm, he proceeds to consider himself as a
type of Christ, and being inspired by the holy Ghost: towards the close
he speaks such things, as though they might be accommodated to himself
in a very imperfect sense, yet could not properly, belong to any but to
Christ, to whom therefore they are justly appropriated in the New
Testament.
