In thiscase as the title of this Psalm states, “A Psalm of David, whenhe fled from Absalom his son.” Could you imagine the emotionand pain he went through? His own son rose up against him, leadingan army of those that hated him. Naturally, in such situation many questions would emerge in theheart. None is asked in this Psalm, meaning that David knew why suchthings is happening to him. 2nd Samuel12:11 “Thus saith the LORD, Behold, I will raiseup evil against thee out of thine own house, and I willtake thy wives before thine eyes, and give them unto thy neighbour,and he shall lie with thy wives in the sight of this sun.” Verse12: “For thou didst it secretly: but I will do this thingbefore all Israel, and before the sun.” The cause of histroubles was his own sin, resulting in a punishment by God.
