Why did David compose this Mizmor?

1.

Radak: Also this was when he was fleeing Sha'ul.

2.

Malbim: It is said against his haters and pursuers.

2)

Why did he say "Rivah Hashem Es Yerivai"?

1.

Rashi: Quarrel with those who quarrel with me. Radak - the Yud [at the beginning of] Yerivai is extra, like the Yud in Yekum and Yevul. It means Merivai; it is To'ar (kind of person). We find like this - "v'Es Yerivech Anochi Ariv" (Yeshayah 49:25).

2.

Malbim: Quarrel with them before they come to war.

3)

What is the meaning of "Lecham Es Lochamai"?

1.

Rashi: Both of these are expressions of war. Make war with those who make war with me! Radak - this repeats the first half of the verse in different words.

2.

Malbim: [Quarrel with them before they come to war. If they already came to war,] You fight them!
