46 Strangers shall fade away, and they shall be afraid out of their close places.
46 They all lose heart; they come trembling
46 Foreigners lost heart and came trembling
46 They gave up; they came trembling from their hideouts.
46 The foreigners fade away, And come frightened from their hideouts.
46 They all lose their courage and come trembling from their strongholds.
Matthew Henry's Commentary on 2 Samuel 22:46
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.
