Psalms 18:35 - Ellicott's Commentary On The Whole Bible

Bible Comments

Thy gentleness. — Or, meekness, as in margin. We cannot afford to sacrifice this striking foreshadowing of His saying of Himself, “I am meek and lowly,” to the scare of a word like anthropomorphism. Why be afraid to speak of the Divine Being as meek any more than as jealous. The LXX. and Vulgate have “discipline,” probably through this timidity.

Psalms 18:35

35 Thou hast also given me the shield of thy salvation: and thy right hand hath holden me up, and thy gentlenessi hath made me great.
