What does this Mizmor discuss?

1.

Radak (16): The entire Mizmor discusses salvation from damage. Therefore it is called Shir Shel Pega'im (Shevu'os 15b). It is a great secret for those who understand.

2.

Malbim: It depicts that one of the Kadosh Bnei Elyon speaks to the one who prays, and answers him. He says, know that you dwell covertly above, from the aspect of your Nefesh, which dwells constantly in the hidden place of Hashem, and clings to its supreme source. From the aspect of your body, you are a man who lodges in the shade of Shakai. Hashem supervises over you with Hashgachah Pratis, and covers you in the shade of His wings.
