2 Samuel 23:2 Meaning and Commentary

2 Samuel 23:2

The Spirit of the Lord spake by me
The psalms and songs he composed were not the fruits of his own genius, but were written by him under the inspiration of the Spirit of God; by whom holy men of God, the penmen of the Scriptures, spoke, even as they were moved by the Holy Ghost, of whom David was one, being a prophet; see ( Acts 1:16 ) ( Acts 2:30 ) ; so the Targum here,

``David spoke by the spirit of prophecy of the Lord:''

or spake "in me" ^F8; what he spoke was first internally impressed upon his mind by the Spirit of God, and then he expressed it with his tongue, as follows:

and his word [was] in my tongue;
not only the matter of his psalms was indited by the Spirit of God, and suggested to his mind; but the very words in which they are delivered were given to him, and he was directed to make use of them, and did.

2 Samuel 23:2 In-Context

1 Últimas palabras de David
Estas son las últimas palabras de David:
«David, hijo de Isaí;
David, el hombre que fue elevado tan alto;
David, el hombre ungido por el Dios de Jacob;
David, el dulce salmista de Israel,
declara:

2 »El Espíritu del Señor
habla por medio de mí;
sus palabras están en mi lengua.

3 El Dios de Israel habló,
la Roca de Israel me dijo:
“El que gobierna con justicia
y gobierna en el temor de Dios,

4 es como la luz de la mañana al amanecer,
como una mañana sin nubes,
como el brillar del sol
sobre la hierba nueva después de la lluvia”.

5 »¿Acaso no es a mi familia que Dios ha elegido?
Sí, ha hecho un pacto eterno conmigo.
Su pacto está arreglado y asegurado hasta el último detalle;
él garantizará mi seguridad y mi éxito.
