49. Bringeth me forth. Repeatedly David found himself surrounded by his enemies and seemingly helpless and within their power. But God would grant him deliverance, bringing him victoriously out of their midst and placing them under subjection to him.
The violent man. Some commentators think that this phrase applies specifically to Saul, but the application is probably general. The whole content of the song, particularly the closing section, makes it seem that David is not thinking here specifically of Saul but of his enemies in general. These men were certainly men of violence, and if they could have gotten David within their power, they would have dealt cruelly with him. From such men the Lord had graciously granted David deliverance.
