Psalms 18:17

He delivered me from my strong enemy, and from them which hated me: for they were too strong for me.

Ver. 17. He delivered me from my strong enemy] Saul; this he oft instanceth, rolling it as sugar under his tongue, and turning aside often to look upon it, as Samson did to see his dead lion fetching honey out of it.

For they were too strong for me] And then God's help was most seasonable when David found himself outmatched.
