Foreigners came cringing to me; as soon as they heard of me, they obeyed me.
Let us observe, in this song of praise, I. How David adores God, and gives him the glory of his infinite perfections. There is none like him, nor any to be compared with him (Sa2 22:32): Who is God, save the Lord? All others that are adored as deities are counterfeits and pretenders. None is to be relied on but he. Who is a rock, save our God?
Commenting on 2 Samuel 22:2-51
Strangers shall submit themselves unto me: as soon as they hear, they shall be obedient unto me. (t) Not willingly obeying me, but deceitfully.
2Sa 22:44-46 44 And Thou rescuest me out of the strivings of my people, Preservest me to be the head of the heathen. People that I knew not serve me. 45 The sons of the stranger dissemble to me, Upon hearsay they obey me. 46 The sons of the stranger despair, And tremble out of their castles.
