Commentary Critical and Explanatory
2 Samuel 22:49
And that bringeth me forth from mine enemies: thou also hast lifted me up on high above them that rose up against me: thou hast delivered me from the violent man.
And that bringeth me forth from mine enemies - literally, And bringing me out, leading me forth; i:e., saving me.
Thou also hast lifted me up on high above them that rose up against me. The change from the participle in the previous clause to the second person, forming a direct address to God, imparts beauty and energy to the diction.
Thou hast delivered me from the violent man, х chamaaciym (H2555), plural, or chaamaac (H2555), singular (Psalms 18:46); 'iysh (H376), man of wrongs or wrong; an oppressor (cf. 2 Samuel 22:16; Psalms 140:1)] - the ideal type of a numerous class, who, although from delicacy left unnamed in the body of the song, is mentioned in the introductory verse. Thus, in winding-up this song of praise and thanksgiving for all his deliverances, David recapitulates them, as previously enumerated, in three groups - (1) From Saul; (2) from intestine insurgents; and (3) from foreign enemies.
