Thou hast also given me the shield of thy salvation, &c.— i.e. "The salvation which thou hast afforded me, hath been my constant protection and security; and thy gentleness; i.e. (as I think the words may be rendered) that gentleness, forbearance, and freedom from the spirit of malice and revenge, with which thou hast blessed me, hath increased my greatness; referring to his conduct towards Saul, which God approved and highly rewarded." Chandler.
