2 Samuel 22:36 - Forerunner Commentary

2 Samuel 22:36

Compare all

34 He makes¹ my feet ^alike the feet of deer,
And ^bsets me on my high places.

35 He teaches my hands¹ to make war,
So that my arms can bend a bow of bronze.

36 “You have also given me the shield of Your salvation;
Your gentleness has made me great.

37 You ^aenlarged my path under me;
So my feet did not slip.

38 “I have pursued my enemies and destroyed them;
Neither did I turn back again till they were destroyed.

39 And I have destroyed them and wounded them,
So that they could not rise;
They have fallen ^aunder my feet.

40 For You have¹ ^aarmed me with strength for the battle;
You have subdued under me ^bthose who rose against me.

41 You have also¹ given me the ^anecks of my enemies,
So that I destroyed those who hated me.

42 They looked, but there was none to save;
Even ^ato the Lord, but He did not answer them.

43 Then I beat them as fine ^aas the dust of the earth;
I trod them ^blike dirt in the streets,
And I¹ spread them out.

44 “You^a have also delivered me from the¹ strivings of my people;
You have kept me as the ^bhead of the nations.
^cA people I have not known shall serve me.

45 The foreigners submit to me;
As soon as they hear, they obey me.

46 The foreigners fade away,
And¹ come frightened ^afrom their hideouts.

47 “The Lord lives!
Blessed be my Rock!
Let God be exalted,
The ^aRock of my salvation!

48 It is God who avenges me,
And ^asubdues the peoples under me;

49 He delivers me from my enemies.
You also lift me up above those who rise against me;
You have delivered me from the ^aviolent man.

50 Therefore I will give thanks to You, O Lord, among ^athe Gentiles,
And sing praises to Your ^bname.

51 “He^a is the tower of salvation to His king,
And shows mercy to His ^banointed,
To David and ^chis descendants forevermore.”
