20 He brought me out into a spacious place; he rescued me because he delighted in me.
20 He brought me forth also into a large place: he delivered me, because he delighted in me.
20 He brought me out into a broad place; he rescued me, because he delighted in me.
20 He stood me up on a wide-open field; I stood there saved - surprised to be loved!
20 He also brought me out into a broad place; He delivered me because He delighted in me.
20 He led me to a place of safety; he rescued me because he delights in me.
Matthew Henry's Commentary on 2 Samuel 22:20
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.
