48 He is the God who avenges me, who puts the nations under me,
48 the God who gave me vengeance and brought down peoples under me,
48 This God set things right for me and shut up the people who talked back.
48 It is God who avenges me, And subdues the peoples under me;
48 He is the God who pays back those who harm me; he brings down the nations under me
Matthew Henry's Commentary on 2 Samuel 22:48
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.
