He brought me forth also Out of my straits and difficulties; out of the little caves in which I was shut up and imprisoned; into a large place Into a state of freedom, and plenty, and comfort. David was several times shut up in close confinement in rocks and caverns; but God had now set him at liberty, and placed him in such happy circumstances that he could live and act with the utmost freedom, without any constraint of his enemies, or danger of his person. Because he delighted in me Or, loved me, or had good will toward me, as חפצ בי, chapetz bi, commonly signifies. Whereby he ascribes all his mercies to God's good pleasure and free grace, as the first spring of them. Which he thought fit to premise, lest the following expressions should seem to savour of boasting of his own merits, which he often disclaims.
