SEV Biblia, Chapter 18:43
Me libraste de contiendas de pueblo; me pusiste por cabecera de gentiles; pueblo que no conocí, me sirvió.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Psalms 17:43
Verse 43. The strivings of the people ] Disaffections and insurrections among my own subjects, as in the revolt of Absalom, the civil war of Abner in favour of Ish-bosheth, &c. The head of the heathen ] µywg Ťar rosh goyim, "the chief," or "governor, of the nations;" all the circumjacent heathen people; all these were subdued by David, and brought under tribute.
A people whom I have not known ] The people whom he knew were those of the twelve tribes; those whom he did not know were the Syrians, Philistines, Idumeans, &c. All these served him, that is, paid him tribute.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 29-50 - When we praise for one mercy, we must observe the many more, with whic we have been compassed all our days. Many things had contributed to David's advancement, and he owns the hand of God in them all, to teac us to do likewise. In verse #(32), and the following verses, are the gifts of God to the spiritual warrior, whereby he is prepared for the contest, after the example of his victorious Leader. Learn that we mus seek release being made through Christ, shall be rejected. In David the type, we behold out of trouble through Christ. The prayer put up without reconciliation Jesus our Redeemer, conflicting with enemies compassed with sorrows and with floods of ungodly men, enduring no only the pains of death, but the wrath of God for us; yet calling upo the Father with strong cries and tears; rescued from the grave proceeding to reconcile, or to put under his feet all other enemies till death, the last enemy, shall be destroyed. We should love the Lord, our Strength, and our Salvation; we should call on him in ever trouble, and praise him for every deliverance; we should aim to wal with him in all righteousness and true holiness, keeping from sin. I we belong to him, he conquers and reigns for us, and we shall conque and reign through him, and partake of the mercy of our anointed King which is promised to all his seed for evermore. Amen __________________________________________________________________
