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 Estas son las últimas palabras de David. Declara David, el hijo de Isaí, y declara el hombre que fue exaltado, el ungido del Dios de Jacob, el dulce salmista de Israel:

2 El Espíritu del SEÑOR habló por mí, y su palabra estuvo en mi lengua.

3 Dijo el Dios de Israel, me habló la Roca de Israel: "El que con justicia gobierna sobre los hombres, que en el temor de Dios gobierna,

4 es como la luz de la mañana cuando se levanta el sol en una mañana sin nubes, cuando brota de la tierra la tierna hierba por el resplandor del sol tras la lluvia.

5 En verdad, ¿no es así mi casa para con Dios? Pues El ha hecho conmigo un pacto eterno, ordenado en todo y seguro. Porque toda mi salvación y todo mi deseo, ¿no los hará ciertamente germinar?
