Commentators like John Calvin and Albert Barnes highlight that faith is not the absence of fear, but a choice made in the midst of it. David admits his fear, showing that it's a natural human emotion. The true test of faith, scholars explain, is to feel fear but refuse to let it control you, choosing instead to actively place your trust in God.
