49 who sets me free from my enemies. You exalted me above my foes; from a violent man you rescued me.
49 And that bringeth me forth from mine enemies: thou also hast lifted me up on high above them that rose up against me: thou hast delivered me from the violent man.
49 who brought me out from my enemies; you exalted me above those who rose against me; you delivered me from men of violence.
49 He rescued me from enemy anger. You pulled me from the grip of upstarts, You saved me from the bullies.
49 He delivers me from my enemies. You also lift me up above those who rise against me; You have delivered me from the violent man.
49 and delivers me from my enemies. You hold me safe beyond the reach of my enemies; you save me from violent opponents.
Matthew Henry's Commentary on 2 Samuel 22:49
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.
