18 I will give you thanks in the great assembly; among the throngs I will praise you.
18 I will give thee thanks in the great congregation: I will praise thee among much
18 I will thank you in the great congregation; in the mighty throng I will praise you.
18 I will give you full credit when everyone gathers for worship; When the people turn out in force I will say my Hallelujahs.
18 I will give You thanks in the great assembly; I will praise You among many people.
18 Then I will thank you in front of the great assembly. I will praise you before all the people.
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Psalm 35:18
Commentary on Psalm 35:17-28
(Read Psalm 35:17-28)
Though the people of God are, and study to be, quiet, yet it has been common for their enemies to devise deceitful matters against them. David prays, My soul is in danger, Lord, rescue it; it belongs to thee the Father of spirits, therefore claim thine own; it is thine, save it! Lord, be not far from me, as if I were a stranger. He who exalted the once suffering Redeemer, will appear for all his people: the roaring lion shall not destroy their souls, any more than he could that of Christ, their Surety. They trust their souls in his hands, they are one with him by faith, are precious in his sight, and shall be rescued from destruction, that they may give thanks in heaven.
