23 For all his judgments were before me: and as for his statutes, I did not depart from them.
23 All his laws are before me; I have not turned away from his decrees.
23 For all his rules were before me, and from his statutes I did not turn aside.
23 Every day I review the ways he works, I try not to miss a trick.
23 For all His judgments were before me; And as for His statutes, I did not depart from them.
23 I have followed all his regulations; I have never abandoned his decrees.
Matthew Henry's Commentary on 2 Samuel 22:23
Chapter Contents
David's psalm of thanksgiving.
This chapter is a psalm of praise; we find it afterwards nearly as 2 Timothy 4:18. Those who receive signal mercies from God, ought to give him the glory. In the day that God delivered David, he sang this song. While the mercy is fresh, and we are most affected with it, let the thank-offering be brought, to be kindled with the fire of that affection. All his joys and hopes close, as all our hopes should do, in the great Redeemer.
