David blesses God for his mercy both to him and to man5. He prays that God would powerfully deliver him from his enemies 9. He promises to praise God 11. He prays for the happy state of the kingdom (2) My goodness�--Or, my lovingkindness, or my grace, a shortened form of "God of my grace" (Psalm 59:10; Psalm 59:17).

Who subdueth.--Psalm 18:47; but the verb is different (cognate with 2Samuel 22:48), and here the singular, "my people," instead of "my peoples." Some MSS. indeed have the plural here, and the Syriac and Chaldee followed them, or changed to suit Psalms 18.

Verse 2. - My goodness, and my fortress; my high tower, and my deliverer; my shield, and he in whom I trust. The general resemblance to Psalm 18:2 is striking, but there are peculiar and original touches which indicate the author, not the copyist. For instance, the expression, "my goodness," occurs nowhere else. Who subdueth my people under me. Another reading gives, "Who subdueth peoples under me." Either reading suits the circumstances of David, who had to subdue a great portion of his own people under him (2 Samuel 2:8-31; 2 Samuel 3:6-21), and also conquered many foreign nations (2 Samuel 8:1-14).Parallel Commentaries ...
