The district around En-gedi, near the western coast of the
   Dead Sea, is reported by travellers to be a mountainous
   territory, filled with caverns; and consequently, proper for
   David in his present circumstances.  Dr. Lightfoot thinks this
   was the wilderness of Judah, in which David was when he penned
   the 63rd Psalm, which breathes as much pious and devout
   affection as almost any of his Psalms; for in all places and
   in all conditions he still kept up his communion with God.--If
   Christians knew their privileges better, and acted up thereto,
   there would be less murmuring at the dark dispensations of
   Divine Providence.
