35 He trains my hands for battle; my arms can bend a bow of bronze.
35 He teacheth my hands to war;
35 He trains my hands for war, so that my arms can bend a bow of bronze.
35 He shows me how to fight; I can bend a bronze bow!
35 He teaches my hands to make war, So that my arms can bend a bow of bronze.
35 He trains my hands for battle; he strengthens my arm to draw a bronze bow.
Matthew Henry's Commentary on 2 Samuel 22:35
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.
