30 For by thee I have run
30 For by you I can run against a troop, and by my God I can leap over a wall.
30 I smash the bands of marauders, I vault the high fences.
30 For by You I can run against a troop; By my God I can leap over a wall.
30 In your strength I can crush an army; with my God I can scale any wall.
Matthew Henry's Commentary on 2 Samuel 22:30
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.
