Commentary on Psalms 56:1
The Hebrew 'chanan' (be gracious/merciful) opens this psalm of trust amid persecution. 'Man would swallow me up' uses vivid imagery of enemies as beasts of prey, yet directs the appeal to God's character rather than human allies. The superscription's reference to David among the Philistines shows that even among pagans, God's covenant mercy sustains His elect.
