In the middle of the apostates who twice betrayed David, David revealed his hiding place to Saul. He confessed his faith in God and confidence in deliverance. This is the cry of the faithful of God's people and of those who believe the Gospel of the kingdom during the Tribulation. The betrayal of David by the Ziphites caused this response of faith.
v.1-2. During the Great Tribulation, the brother will betray the brother. Betrayal will be a common practice. Those who betrayed David were godless. The godless Antichrist will be in power during the Great Tribulation. The remnant of the Jews will suffer greatly because of the Man of Sin.
v.3. Deep distress will be brought upon the remnant of the Jews in the Tribulation. David's experience was a foreshadowing of those times yet to come.
v.4-7. The final part of this psalm of instruction is an expression of confidence in God. God delivered David from the Ziphites and will keep His promises to the remnant, too. He will deliver them from the power of the Antichrist. God's promises to us can always be counted on.
