This chapter is a psalm of praise; we find it
afterwards nearly aspsalms 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 2 timothy. 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.
