Psalm 109:1 {108:1}
Treasury of Scripture Knowledge

Unto the end, a psalm for David.

A.

2942. B.C.

1062. 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.
