2 [1] **May the Lord answer you on a day of distress** This psalm was [composed] because he [David] would send Joab and all Israel to war, and he would stand in Jerusalem and pray for them, as the matter is stated (in II Sam. 18:3): “It is better that you be for us from the city as aid.” Were it not for David, Joab would not have succeeded in battle.
[2] **the name of the God of Jacob** Who promised him [Jacob] when he went to Haran and kept His promise; therefore, it is stated: “the God of Jacob.”
