am 2942 , bc 1062 . Title It is generally supposed that this Psalm was composed by David , when persecuted by Saul , who was rendered more implacable by the base and malicious calumnies of Doeg and others; though some are of opinion , that it was written when David fled from Absalom , and that Ahithophel , rather than Doeg , is the typical person against whom it is principally directed.

Set thou . Dr. Sykes , Michaelis , and others , contend that these imprecations are those of David's enemies against himself; and they would render , "Set , say they , a wicked ," etc , but this is rendered highly improbable by the Psalm 109 . 8 , being applied by St. Peter to the traitor Judas , of whom David was certainly not a type. . See Psalm 109 . 20. Bp. Horsley and others , however , render the verbs in the future tense , the first verb alone being in the imperative; justly considering the Psalmist as merely uttering prophetic denunciations of God's displeasure against sinners.
