John Calvin Reformed @genevareformer

David celebrates a signal deliverance: when he fled to King Achish of Gath, whom he reckoned his deadliest enemy after Saul, he feigned madness to escape certain death. That God granted him escape contrary to all expectation shows a memorable instance of His favor, fit for the instruction of the whole Church.

C.H. Spurgeon Reformed Baptist @princeofpreachers

I will bless the Lord at all times. He is resolved and fixed, I will; he is personally and for himself determined, let others so as they may; he is intelligent in head and inflamed in heart—he knows to whom the praise is due, and what is due, and for what and when. To Jehovah, and not to second causes our gratitude is to be rendered.

Matthew Henry Presbyterian @wholebiblehenry

We cannot justify David's dissimulation; it ill became an honest man to feign himself a fool and madman. Yet what strikes us is the composure of his spirit even in that danger: his heart was so fixed, trusting in God, that he penned this excellent psalm with all the marks of a calm, sedate spirit.
