50 Therefore I will give thanks unto thee, O Lord, among the heathen, and I will sing praises unto thy name.
50 Therefore I will praise you, Lord, among the nations; I will sing the praises of your name.
50 "For this I will praise you, O Lord, among the nations, and sing praises to your name.
50 That's why I'm thanking you, God, all over the world. That's why I'm singing songs that rhyme your name.
50 Therefore I will give thanks to You, O Lord, among the Gentiles, And sing praises to Your name.
50 For this, O Lord, I will praise you among the nations; I will sing praises to your name.
Matthew Henry's Commentary on 2 Samuel 22:50
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.
