19 They confronted me in the day of my disaster, but the Lord was my support.
19 They prevented me in the day of my calamity: but the Lord was my stay.
19 They confronted me in the day of my calamity, but the Lord was my support.
19 They hit me when I was down, but God stuck by me.
19 They confronted me in the day of my calamity, But the Lord was my support.
19 They attacked me at a moment when I was in distress, but the Lord supported me.
Matthew Henry's Commentary on 2 Samuel 22:19
Chapter Contents
David's psalm of thanksgiving.
This chapter is a psalm of praise; we find it afterwards nearly as 2 Timothy 4:18. 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.
