Contextual Overview
For the choir director: A psalm of David, to be accompanied by stringed instruments.
Listen to my prayer, O God. Do not ignore my cry for help! 2 Please listen and answer me, for I am overwhelmed by my troubles. 3 My enemies shout at me, making loud and wicked threats. They bring trouble on me and angrily hunt me down. 4 My heart pounds in my chest. The terror of death assaults me. 5 Fear and trembling overwhelm me, and I can't stop shaking. 6 Oh, that I had wings like a dove; then I would fly away and rest! 7 I would fly far away to the quiet of the wilderness. Interlude 8 How quickly I would escape— far from this wild storm of hatred.Bible Verse Review
from Treasury of Scripure Knowledge
the windy storm: From the sweeping wind and tempest, - Absalom and his rebellious party. Psalms 18:4, Isaiah 17:12, Isaiah 17:13, Matthew 7:25-27
Reciprocal: 2 Samuel 17:16 - but speedily Job 40:23 - hasteth
Gill's Notes on the Bible
I would hasten my escape from the windy storm [and] tempest. Of an army of rebellious subjects, bearing down all before them, and threatening with utter ruin and destruction; so a powerful army of enemies invading a country is signified by a storm and tempest,
Isaiah 28:2; and may be expressive of the storm and tempest of divine wrath and vengeance the sensible sinner hastens his escape from by fleeing to Christ; and of the blowing and furious winds of persecution, which the church, Christ's dove, flees from, by getting into the clefts of the rock, and the secret places of the stairs, Song of Solomon 2:14; and of the storms of divine wrath and justice that fell upon Christ as the surety of his people; from which the human nature, seized with fearfulness, trembling, and horror, desired an hasty escape.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
I would hasten my escape - I would make haste to secure an escape. I would not delay, but I would flee at once.
From the windy storm and tempest - From the calamities which have come upon me, and which beat upon me like a violent tempest. If this psalm was composed on occasion of the rebellion of Absalom, it is easy to see with what propriety tiffs language is used. The troubles connected with that unnatural rebellion had burst upon him with the fury of a sudden storm, and threatened to sweep everything away.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Psalms 55:8. The windy storm — From the sweeping wind and tempest-Absalom and his party and the mutinous people in general.
