2 Samuel 22:50-51 - The Pulpit Commentary

2 Samuel 22:50-51 - David's Psalm Of Thanksgiving.

"Therefore will I praise thee among the nations,

And to thy Name will I sing.

Great deliverance giveth he to his king,

And showeth grace to his messiah—

To David, and to his seed forever."

Great deliverance; literally, he maketh great the salvation of his king; that is, he rescueth him marvellously again and again. The K'ri substitutes tower, but it has no support either from the versions or from Psalms 18:1-50 ; though admitted into the Authorized Version. The difference between the two words "making great" and "tower" is, in the Hebrew, trifling. To his messiah. This mercy was shown to David as the anointed theocratic king, whose rule was the symbol of that of Christ.
