It was composed (as the Title notes) by David prayer-wise, when he hid himself from Saul in the Cave: And is inscribed with a double Title, Altaschith Michtam of David. Altaschith refers to the scope, and Michtam to the dignity of the subject matter.
The former signifies destroy not, 1or let there be no slaughter, and may either refer to Saul, concerning whom he gave charge to his servants not to destroy him; or rather, it hath reference to God, to whom in this great exigence he poured out his soul in this pathetical ejaculation, Altaschith destroy not.
