Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Whole Bible
back to:
2 Samuel
Book: 2 Samuel
Chapter: 22
Overview:
David's psalm of thanksgiving.
- This
Chapter is a psalm of praise; we find it afterwards
nearly as Ps 18. They that trust
God in the way of duty, shall
find him a present help in their greatest dangers:
David did
So.
Remarkable preservations should be particularly mentioned in our
praises. We shall never be delivered from all enemies till we
get to
Heaven.
God will preserve all his people, 2Ti 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.
