34 1 After David had escaped Achish, according as it is written in 1 Sam. 2:11, whom in this title he calleth Abimelech (which was a general name to all the Kings of the Philistines) he praiseth God for his deliverance, 3 provoking all others by his example to trust in God, to fear and serve him, 7 who defendeth the godly with his Angels, 16 and utterly destroyeth the wicked in their sins.

A Psalm of David, when he changeth his behavior before Abimelech, who drave him away, and he departed.

I will [a]always give thanks unto the Lord: his praise shall be in my mouth continually.

My soul shall glory in the Lord: the [b]humble shall hear it and be glad.
