shew thyself unsavoury: or, wrestle

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary

22:1-51 David's psalm of thanksgiving. - This chapter is a psalm of praise; we find it afterwards nearly as Ps 18. They that trust God in the way of duty, shall find him a present help in their greatest dangers: David did so. Remarkable preservations should be particularly mentioned in our praises. We shall never be delivered from all enemies till we get to heaven. God will preserve all his people, 2Ti 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.


Leviticus 26:23 'And if by these things you are not turned to Me, but act with hostility against Me,
Leviticus 26:24 then I will act with hostility against you; and I, even I, will strike you seven times for your sins.
Matthew 5:8 "Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God.
Romans 1:28 And just as they did not see fit to acknowledge God any longer, God gave them over to a depraved mind, to do those things which are not proper,
1 John 3:3 And everyone who has this hope fixed on Him purifies himself, just as He is pure. (NASB ©1995)
