Tehillim, Psalm 57

תהילים פרק נז

Псалом 57

Три псалма (57-59) относятся к тому периоду жизни Давида, когда его преследует Шауль. Все три начинаются с мольбы: «Аль ташхет! – Не погуби!», ибо в тот момент Давид находился под угрозой разрушения и смерти. (Раши)

Давид сложил этот псалом, скрываясь от Шауля в пещере. Но и укрывшись в надежном убежище, Давид ищет спасения у Г-спода, ибо нет другой защиты, кроме Него. (Ибн Эзра)
