David's psalm of thanksgiving for God's deliverance and blessingsHe gives His king great victories This phrase highlights the divine empowerment and favor bestowed upon the king by God. The Hebrew word for "gives" is "נָתַן" (natan), which implies a generous and intentional act of bestowing. The term "king" refers to David, the anointed ruler of Israel, but it also prophetically points to the ultimate King, Jesus Christ, in the Christian tradition. The "great victories" signify not only military triumphs but also spiritual and moral victories, underscoring God's active role in the success and protection of His chosen leaders.

He shows loving devotion to His anointed to David and his descendants forever This brief review of these two recensions of this magnificent hymn is instructive, as showing that Providence has dealt with the MSS. of the Old Testament as with those of the New, securing them during the long succession of ages from all substantial error, and yet not so destroying ordinary human action but that mere slips of the pen should sometimes creep in, and care and diligence be required to ascertain precisely what was originally written, and sometimes, perhaps, in the merest minutiae, leaving the original form still uncertain. The Psalm is a grand anthem of thanksgiving of David for the many mercies he had received--a full and confident expression of his trust in God under all circumstances, and of his well-assured hope in the fulfilment of the Divine promise of the perpetuity of his kingdom through the coming of Him "in whom all the families of the earth should be blessed."
