📚 Historical Context
This verse comes from David's song of praise after God delivered him from all his enemies, including King Saul who had pursued him for years. David had spent much time hiding in caves and narrow places, literally and figuratively trapped by his circumstances. Now he celebrates God's rescue that brought him into the freedom and blessing of kingship.
