| Geneva Study Bible {d} I have pursued mine enemies, and overtaken them: neither did I turn again till they were consumed. (d) David declares that he did nothing besides his calling, but was stirred up by God's Spirit to execute his judgments. Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Bible Commentary 37-41. In actual conflict, with God's aid, the defeat of his enemies is certain. A present and continued success is expressed. Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary 18:32, and the following verses, are the gifts of God to the spiritual warrior, whereby he is prepared for the contest, after the example of his victorious Leader. Learn that we must seek release being made through Christ, shall be rejected. In David the type, we behold out of trouble through Christ. The prayer put up, without reconciliation Jesus our Redeemer, conflicting with enemies, compassed with sorrows and with floods of ungodly men, enduring not only the pains of death, but the wrath of God for us; yet calling upon the Father with strong cries and tears; rescued from the grave; proceeding to reconcile, or to put under his feet all other enemies, till death, the last enemy, shall be destroyed. We should love the Lord, our Strength, and our Salvation; we should call on him in every trouble, and praise him for every deliverance; we should aim to walk with him in all righteousness and true holiness, keeping from sin. If we belong to him, he conquers and reigns for us, and we shall conquer and reign through him, and partake of the mercy of our anointed King, which is promised to all his seed for evermore. Amen. |
