Thanksgiving · Wisdom · Attributed to David
An alphabetic acrostic attributed to David, Psalm 34's superscription links it to the time he pretended to be insane before a Philistine king, called Abimelech here and Achish in 1 Samuel. It is a thanksgiving that turns into instruction for others. It honestly admits that the righteous face many afflictions.
