It is generally supposed that this Psalm was composed by
David, when persecuted by Saul, who was rendered more
implacable by the base and malicious calumnies of Doeg and
others; though some are of opinion, that it was written when
David fled from Absalom, and that Ahithophel, rather than
Doeg, is the typical person against whom it is principally
directed.
