Commentary on Psalms 63:11
Theological / DevotionalThe king. The psalmist now refers to himself in the third person. Though a fugitive, in momentary danger of being killed by Saul, David still manifests his confidence that ultimately he will become king in fulfillment of his anointing by the prophet Samuel (see 1 Sam. 16:13). There is a tender pathos in David’s use of the term. His words represent an act of faith on his part.
By him. That is, by God. On the significance of the oath see on Deut. 6:13; see also Deut. 10:20; Isa. 65:16.
That speak lies. Those who seek to triumph by falsehood will be confounded. David is confident that he will be protected against the murderous designs of Saul and that his enemies will be destroyed. It is the privilege of the man who puts his trust in God to realize that ultimate joy and triumph are sure to be his.
