John Gill's Bible Commentary Ver. 1. And David spake unto the Lord the words of this song in the day [that] the Lord had delivered him out of the hand of all his enemies, and out of the hand of Saul .] (See Gill on “ Psalm 18:1”).
Matthew Henry Commentary
- David's psalm of thanksgiving.
--This chapter is a psalm of praise; we find it afterwards nearly as P 18. They that trust God in the way of duty, shall find him a presen help in their greatest dangers: David did so. Remarkable preservation 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, ough to give him the glory. In the day that God delivered David, he san 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 tha affection. All his joys and hopes close, as all our hopes should do, is the great Redeemer _________________________________________________
