King James Translators' Notes

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.


Matthew 5:8 Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God.
Romans 1:28 Furthermore, since they did not think it worthwhile to retain the knowledge of God, he gave them over to a depraved mind, to do what ought not to be done.
1 John 3:3 Everyone who has this hope in him purifies himself, just as he is pure.
Leviticus 26:23 "'If in spite of these things you do not accept my correction but continue to be hostile toward me,
Leviticus 26:24 I myself will be hostile toward you and will afflict you for your sins seven times over.
