45 foreigners cower before me; as soon as they hear of me, they obey me.
45 Strangers
45 Foreigners came cringing to me; as soon as they heard of me, they obeyed me.
45 the moment they got wind of me they submitted.
45 The foreigners submit to me; As soon as they hear, they obey me.
45 Foreign nations cringe before me; as soon as they hear of me, they submit.
Matthew Henry's Commentary on 2 Samuel 22:45
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.
