29 You, Lord, are my lamp; the Lord turns my darkness into light.
29 For thou art my lamp,
29 For you are my lamp, O Lord, and my God lightens my darkness.
29 Suddenly, God, your light floods my path, God drives out the darkness.
29 "For You are my lamp, O Lord; The Lord shall enlighten my darkness.
29 O Lord, you are my lamp. The Lord lights up my darkness.
Matthew Henry's Commentary on 2 Samuel 22:29
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.
