31 This God-his way is perfect; the promise of the Lord proves true; he is a shield for all who take refuge in him. 32 For who is God, but the Lord? And who is a rock, except our God? 33 The God who has girded me with strength has opened wide my path. 34 He made my feet like the feet of deer, and set me secure on the heights. 35 He trains my hands for war, so that my arms can bend a bow of bronze. 36 You have given me the shield of your salvation, and your help has made me great. 37 You have made me stride freely, and my feet do not slip;
Matthew Henry's Commentary on 2 Samuel 22:31-37
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.
