David praises God for his manifold and marvelous blessingsGreat salvation The phrase "Great salvation" in Hebrew is "מַגְדִּיל יְשׁוּעוֹת" (magdil yeshu'ot). The word "magdil" implies magnification or making great, indicating not just a simple act of saving but a profound, comprehensive deliverance. This salvation is not merely physical but encompasses spiritual and eternal dimensions. Historically, this reflects God's deliverance of David from his enemies, but prophetically, it points to the ultimate salvation through Jesus Christ, the descendant of David, who brings eternal salvation to all who believe. He brings to His king He shows loving devotion to His anointed to David and his descendants forever The question of the relation of the two copies of this hymn to each other is far too complicated and difficult for discussion here. Each has been again and again claimed as the original. The best explanation of the variations is that the compositions were independent copies of some original, and that the psalm, like many others, was altered in preparation for the choir use. Verse 50. - Great deliverance giveth he to his king; literally, he magnifies salutations to his king. The primary reference seems to be to the gracious message which God sent to David by Nathan when he had brought the tabernacle into Jerusalem, and purposed to build a "house" worthy of it (see 2 Samuel 7:8-16). God had then "saluted" David as "his servant" (ver. 5), and sent him a message of the most gracious character, even promising the kingdom to him and to his seed "for ever" (vers. 13, 16). And showeth mercy to his anointed, to David. No doubt David is primarily intended, both by the "king" of the first clause, and by the "anointed" of the second; but the combination of the two, and the immediate mention of the "seed" which is to reign "for ever," carry the passage beyond the psalmist individually, and give to the conclusion of the psalm, at any rate, a semi-Messianic character. As Hengstenberg says, "Psalms of this kind are distinguished from those which may more strictly be called Messianic, only by this - that in the latter the Messiah exclusively is brought into view, while here he is presented to our notice only as a member of the seed of David" ('Commentary on the Psalms,' vol. 1. p. 324, Engl. trans.).
