What does this Mizmor discuss?
1.
Malbim: This Mizmor is divided into three. Until verse 7 discusses when Sha'ul cast the spear at him to strike him, and Hashem saved him. After this, until verse 15 discusses when Sha'ul sent guards at night to guard the house [lest he escape] and kill him; he found out, with Hashem's help; he prays that Hashem save him. The last part curses his enemies.
