51 He is the tower of salvation for his king: and sheweth mercy to his anointed, unto David, and to his seed for evermore.
51 He is the tower H4024 H1431 of salvation H3444 for his king: H4428 and sheweth H6213 mercy H2617 to his anointed, H4899 unto David, H1732 and to his seed H2233 for H5704 evermore. H5769
51 Great deliverance giveth he to his king, And showeth lovingkindness to his anointed, To David and to his seed, for evermore.
51 Magnifying the salvations of His king, And doing loving-kindness to His anointed, To David, and to his seed -- unto the age!'
51 [It is he] who giveth great deliverances to his king, And sheweth loving-kindness to his anointed, To David, and to his seed for evermore.
51 Great deliverance gives he to his king, Shows loving kindness to his anointed, To David and to his seed, forevermore.
51 Great salvation does he give to his king; he has mercy on the king of his selection, David, and on his seed for ever.
It is he that giveth salvation unto kings: who delivereth David his servant from the hurtful sword.
And when thy days be fulfilled, and thou shalt sleep with thy fathers, I will set up thy seed after thee, which shall proceed out of thy bowels, and I will establish his kingdom. He shall build an house for my name, and I will stablish the throne of his kingdom for ever.
I have found David my servant; with my holy oil have I anointed him:
His seed also will I make to endure for ever, and his throne as the days of heaven.
But thou, O LORD, art a shield for me; my glory, and the lifter up of mine head.
The king shall joy in thy strength, O LORD; and in thy salvation how greatly shall he rejoice!
But my faithfulness and my mercy shall be with him: and in my name shall his horn be exalted.
He shall cry unto me, Thou art my father, my God, and the rock of my salvation.
I will say of the LORD, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God; in him will I trust.
But they shall serve the LORD their God, and David their king, whom I will raise up unto them.
And, behold, thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and bring forth a son, and shalt call his name JESUS. He shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the Highest: and the Lord God shall give unto him the throne of his father David: And he shall reign over the house of Jacob for ever; and of his kingdom there shall be no end.

CHAPTER 22
2Sa 22:1-51. David's Psalm of Thanksgiving for God's Powerful Deliverance and Manifold Blessings.
The song contained in this chapter is the same as the eighteenth Psalm, where the full commentary will be given [see on Ps 18:1, &c.]. It may be sufficient simply to remark that Jewish writers have noticed a great number of very minute variations in the language of the song as recorded here, from that embodied in the Book of Psalms—which may be accounted for by the fact that this, the first copy of the poem, was carefully revised and altered by David afterwards, when it was set to the music of the tabernacle. This inspired ode was manifestly the effusion of a mind glowing with the highest fervor of piety and gratitude, and it is full of the noblest imagery that is to be found within the range even of sacred poetry. It is David's grand tribute of thanksgiving for deliverance from his numerous and powerful enemies, and establishing him in the power and glory of the kingdom.
