It is fitting that one cannot match with certainty the historical clue offered by the title of this final psalm against the history of David’s life. Although the psalms provide insight into the exercises of David’s heart, they do not require their historical context to be understood. Rather, they have been chosen by God and placed together in an order answering to His special purposes. When Israel in a future day is caught up in that terrible trial which will come upon the whole habitable world (Rev. 3:10), the psalms will be a tremendous help and comfort. The church, the bride of Christ, will have answered the call, “Come up hither” (Rev. 4:1) and will be kept from that time of tribulation (Rev. 3:10).
