Psalms 18:46-50 - Exposition

This glorious and triumphant psalm concludes with a solemn ascription of praise, blessing, and thanksgiving to Almighty God—partly recapitulation of what has preceded ( Psalms 18:47 , Psalms 18:48 ), partly additional ( Psalms 18:46 , Psalms 18:49 , Psalms 18:50 ). Terms of praise are accumulated, and the whole is made to culminate in a Messianic burst, where David is swallowed up in his "Seed;" and the "Anointed King" presented to our view is rather the antitype than the type—rather Christ Jesus than the son of Jesse.
