On this verse

Draft selections — awaiting the founder’s edit.

God had given him victory over his enemies, the Philistines, Moabites, Ammonites, and all that fought against Israel: those especially he means, yet not excluding the house of Saul, which opposed his coming to the crown, and the partisans of Absalom and Sheba, who would have deposed him.

Matthew Henry· Commentary on the Whole Bible, 1710puritan

Salvation - Thy protection, which hath been to me like a shield. Held - Kept me from, falling into those mischiefs, which mine enemies designed. Gentleness - Thy clemency, whereby thou hast pardoned my sins; thy grace and benignity.

John Wesley (NT Notes)· Explanatory Notes upon the Bible, 1765evangelical
