28 You save the humble, but your eyes are on the haughty to bring them low.
28 And the afflicted people thou wilt save: but thine eyes are upon the haughty, that thou mayest bring them down.
28 You save a humble people, but your eyes are on the haughty to bring them down.
28 You take the side of the down-and-out, but the stuck-up you take down a peg.
28 You will save the humble people; But Your eyes are on the haughty, that You may bring them down.
28 You rescue the humble, but your eyes watch the proud and humiliate them.
Matthew Henry's Commentary on 2 Samuel 22:28
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.
