EXPOSITION.
Paul cites this verse (#Ro 15:9|): "And that the Gentiles
might glorify God for his mercy; as it is written, For this cause
I will confess to thee among the Gentiles, and sing unto thy
name." This is clear evidence that David's Lord is here, but
David is here too, and is to be viewed as an example of a holy
soul making its boast in God even in the presence of ungodly men.
Who are the despisers of God that we should stop our mouths for
them? We will sing to our God whether they like it or no, and
force upon them the knowledge of his goodness. Too much
politeness to traitors may be treason to our King.
EXPLANATORY NOTES AND QUAINT SAYINGS.
Verse 49.--I admire King David a great deal more when I
see him in the quire than when I see him in the camp; when I see
him singing as the sweet singer of Israel, than when I see him
fighting as the worthy warrior of Israel. For fighting with
others he did overcome all others; but singing, and delighting
himself, he did overcome himself.--^Thomas Playfere.
