📚 Historical Context
This psalm is attributed to David and has a subtitle indicating it was written when he pretended to be insane before Abimelech (though the story in 1 Samuel refers to Achish). David was likely reflecting on God's deliverance during a time when he was fleeing from King Saul and found himself in dangerous situations among Israel's enemies.
