John Calvin Reformed @genevareformer

David is crushed by cruel enemies and prays urgently for God's help. He establishes God's justice by laying bare their malice, then speaks of his own faith and comfort, confident of deliverance, and knowing that when God rescues him, the godly everywhere will share the benefit.

C.H. Spurgeon Reformed Baptist @princeofpreachers

When you pray against wickedness, you pray against what God Himself abhors. He takes no pleasure in sin, however it may glitter and dress itself up in the world's approval. His holiness cannot abide evil for a moment. You cannot lodge Christ in your heart's parlor while entertaining the devil in its cellar; these two guests are at war, and Christ will not share your house with His enemy.

Matthew Henry Presbyterian @wholebiblehenry

The title of this psalm has nothing in it peculiar but that it is said to be upon Nehiloth, a word nowhere else used. It is conjectured (and it is but a conjecture) that is signifies wind - instruments, with which this psalm was sung, as Neginoth was supposed to signify the stringed - instruments. In these verses David had an eye to God, I.
