John Calvin Reformed @genevareformer

David cries out from the depths of terror, having endured one danger after another, and makes his whole case rest upon trust in the Lord alone. He brings before God nothing but faith, for he understands that hope placed in God cannot possibly be disappointed, and on that confidence alone he builds his prayer for deliverance.

C.H. Spurgeon Reformed Baptist @princeofpreachers

I have hated them that regard lying vanities. Those who will not lean upon the true arm of strength, are sure to make to themselves vain confidences. Man must have a god, and if he will not adore the only living and true God, he makes a fool of himself, and pays superstitious regard to a lie, and waits with anxious hope upon a base delusion.

Matthew Henry Presbyterian @wholebiblehenry

Faith and prayer must go together: he that believes, let him pray; he that prays, let him believe. David pours out urgent supplication, seeking not only mercy but righteousness from God as his Judge against his unrighteous persecutors, and begging speedily for deliverance lest his faith fail if it be long deferred.
