David is supposed to have written this psalm in reply to the slanders of Saul’s courtiers, that he was plotting treasons and aspiring to the crown.
**REFLECTIONS.**
The preseding psalm has described the true way of obtaining favour with the Lord; and here we are taught the true way of retaining that favour. The more a soul resembles God, the more it sinks in filial abasement at his feet. He submits to his pleasure cheerfully as the weaned child when tutored by a skilful mother: and the disposition of a little child is so pleasing to God, that our Lord made it the first qualification of his apostles. [Matthew 18:1-7](../../../kjv/matthew/18/1-7).
