Contextual Overview

1

(For the music leader. A psalm by David, the Lord 's servant. David sang this to the Lord after the Lord had rescued him from his enemies, but especially from Saul.)

I love you, Lord God, and you make me strong. 2 You are my mighty rock, my fortress, my protector, the rock where I am safe, my shield, my powerful weapon, and my place of shelter. 3 I praise you, Lord ! I prayed, and you rescued me from my enemies. 4 Death had wrapped its ropes around me, and I was almost swallowed by its flooding waters. 5 Ropes from the world of the dead had coiled around me, and death had set a trap in my path. 6 I was in terrible trouble when I called out to you, but from your temple you heard me and answered my prayer. 7 The earth shook and shivered, and the mountains trembled down to their roots. You were angry 8 and breathed out smoke. Scorching heat and fiery flames spewed from your mouth. 9 You opened the heavens like curtains, and you came down with storm clouds under your feet. 10 You rode on the backs of flying creatures and swooped down with the wind as wings.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

He brought me forth also into a large place,.... Into heaven, a place of the glorious liberty of Christ, after his captivity to death and the grave, whither he ascended leading captivity captive, and of the children of God; and a spacious place, where there is room enough for Christ and all his people; here he now is, and will remain till his second coming, and from hence we expect him; see John 14:2. Compare with this Psalms 31:8;

he delivered me, because he delighted in me; God delivered David from all his enemies, because he was a man after his own heart, in whom he delighted; not for any merit and worthiness in him, but of his good will and pleasure: he delivered Christ because he was his elect, in whom his soul delighted; and who was daily his delight, rejoicing in his presence before the world was: and he delivers his church and people, because they are his Hephzibah, in whom is his delight,

Isaiah 62:4; the Father delighted in them, and therefore chose them to salvation; the Son delighted in them, and gave himself for them, and ransomed them out of the hands of him that is stronger than they; the Holy Spirit delighted in them, and therefore regenerates, renews, and sanctifies them, and seals them up unto the day of redemption.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

He brought me forth also into a large place - Instead of being hemmed in by enemies, and straitened in my troubles, so that I seemed to have no room to move, he brought me into a place where I had ample room, and where I could act freely. Compare the note at Psalms 4:1.

He delivered me - He rescued me from my enemies and my troubles.

Because he delighted in me - He saw that my cause was just, and he had favor toward me.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Psalms 18:19. He brought me forth also into a large place — He enabled me to clear the country of my foes, who had before cooped me up in holes and corners. This appears to be the allusion.
