David knew persecution. In today’s passage, he had to hide himself in a cave to escape from his pursuers. He was depressed, and he felt abandoned. However, he did what every believer should do in a time of crisis: He called out to the Lord for help and refuge. David had faith that the Lord would bring his soul out of the figurative prison that it was in.
