John Calvin Reformed @genevareformer

David could have given thanks to God in private, but he testified publicly that whatever blessings God conferred upon him redounded to the common good of all His people. Yet above all, the Holy Spirit directs our minds here to Christ, who was the end and perfection of this kingdom, teaching us we cannot be saved except under the Head God Himself appointed.

C.H. Spurgeon Reformed Baptist @princeofpreachers

David's first coronation cannot contain this meaning; only the King Messiah asked for life and received it, immortal, never to die again. He rose from the dead and now gives us His eternal life; we had never found this jewel had He not rolled away the stone that covered it.

Matthew Henry Presbyterian @wholebiblehenry

David made God's strength his confidence and God's salvation his joy, not the success of armies. Happy the people whose king trusts God to bear him out in all he does for the service of His kingdom. Our Lord Jesus, in His great undertaking, relied upon help from heaven and pleased Himself with the prospect of that great salvation He was thereby to work out.
