Adam Clarke's Bible Commentary Verse 1. O Lord God of my salvation ] This is only the continuation of prayers and supplications already often sent up to the throne of grace.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 1-9 - The first words of the psalmist are the only words of comfort an support in this psalm. Thus greatly may good men be afflicted, and suc dismal thoughts may they have about their afflictions, and such dar conclusion may they make about their end, through the power of melancholy and the weakness of faith. He complained most of God' displeasure. Even the children of God's love may sometimes thin themselves children of wrath and no outward trouble can be so hard upo them as that. Probably the psalmist described his own case, yet he leads to Christ. Thus are we called to look unto Jesus, wounded an bruised for our iniquities. But the wrath of God poured the greates bitterness into his cup. This weighed him down into darkness and the deep.
