Psalms 18:20-27The Lord reward me according to my righteousness.Of the justice of David’s behaviourI. David’s righteousness. Righteousness consists in rendering to all their due, and the revealed will of God is the standard of it (Deuteronomy 6:25). As we are under infinitely greater obligations to perform our duty to God than we can be under to perform any services to our fellow men, righteousness includes in it that piety which has God for its object, as well as the performance of those... read more

Psalms 18:23I was also upright before Him, and kept myself from mine iniquity.The upright heart, and its darling sinThings that David here takes notice of.1. The greatness of the danger he was in.2. The glory of his deliverance, regarded as an answer to prayer.3. The fruit of it. The love of God is enlarged and inflamed. His confidence in God is enlarged.

Psalms 18:25-26With the merciful Thou wilt show Thyself merciful.Poetic justice actual justiceWhat we call poetic justice pervades the whole Bible. We feel ill the advancing civilisations that there is a reaching more and more to a realisation of this justice. In Job we have its full exemplification. There the latter end of the history of the mart vindicates all. It is a dangerous teaching that some people try to wring out of the New Testament, that good people must not expect success in this... read more

Psalms 18:28Thou wilt light my candle. Lighted candlesIn the East the poorest people burnt a lamp all through the night time, for they dreaded a dark house as a terrible calamity. When they had light they were happy, and in some degree prosperous. David says that God will light his home lamp for him, and will thus make his home happy for him. In Proverbs 20:27 we find this sentence, “The spirit of a man is the candle of the Lord.” The question is, are we lighted candles? Away in the north there... read more

Psalms 18:29; Psalms 18:33-34By Thee have I run through a troop.Surmounting impossible difficultiesThis is a poetical way of representing the fact that impossibilities have often been made possible in our own experience. Looking back upon certain combinations of circumstances, we cannot but feel that we were surrounded by great and high walls, and that troops of dangers thickened around us in deadly array, Now that we see ourselves in a “large place,” we are tempted to believe that we are still... read more

Psalms 18:30As for God, His way is perfect.God’s ministriesMany mythologies have told how the gods arm their champions, but the Psalmist reaches a loftier height than these. He ventures to think of God as doing the humble office of bracing on his girdle, but the girdle is itself strength. God, whose own “way is perfect,” makes His servant’s way in some measure like His own; and though, no doubt, the figure must be interpreted in a manner congruous with the context, as chiefly implying... read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Psalms 18:1

Psalms 18:1 « To the chief Musician, [A Psalm] of David, the servant of the LORD, who spake unto the LORD the words of this song in the day [that] the LORD delivered him from the hand of all his enemies, and from the hand of Saul: And he said, » I will love thee, O LORD, my strength. To the chief Musician ] Some render it, Ad triumphandum; and well they may; for this is old David’s επινικιον , or triumphant song after so many victories and deliverances; and it is twice recorded in Scripture,... read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Psalms 18:2

Psa 18:2 The LORD [is] my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer; my God, my strength, in whom I will trust; my buckler, and the horn of my salvation, [and] my high tower. Ver. 2. The Lord is my rock, and my fortress, &c. ] i.e. He is all in all for my preservation. Ten words, say the Hebrews, he here heapeth up, in reference to ten signal victories; or rather because his thankful heart was so enlarged, that he could never satisfy himself in saying what God had been to him and done for... read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Psalms 18:3

Psa 18:3 I will call upon the LORD, [who is worthy] to be praised: so shall I be saved from mine enemies. Ver. 3. I will call upon the Lord, who is worthy to be praised ] Or, is the proper object of praises, because he is good and doth good, Psalms 119:68 . David vows to praise him, 1. By loving him entirely. 2. By trusting in him steadfastly, Psalms 18:1 3. By calling upon him continually, here, and Psalms 116:2-3 , which psalm is very like to this (in the beginning especially) both for... read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Psalms 18:4

Psa 18:4 The sorrows of death compassed me, and the floods of ungodly men made me afraid. Ver. 4. The sorrows of death compass me ] Or, the pangs, pains, throes as of a travailing woman, these environed me, or came thick and threefold upon me, perveniebant usque ad אף even to my face (as the Rabbins descant upon the word), or flew upon me; desperate and deadly dangers assailed me.
