Matthew Poole and continuators on Psalms 18:49

49. Therefore will I give thanks unto thee, O LORD, among the heathen : and sing praises unto thy name.

Or, among the Gentiles or Nations; (i. e.) Either, 1. In the great Congregations consisting of the Israelites of all Tribes; of whom this very word is used, Ios. 3. 17. and 4. 1. Ezek. 2. 3. and elsewhere, as hath been noted before, Or 2. In the Presence of those Gentiles, who resorted to Ierusalem in great numbers, or before others of them; who are either subject to me, or Consederate with me, as I have occasion of speaking or writing to any of them. But this was but an uncertain and inconsiderable Business. And therefore David is here transported beyond himself, even to his seed for ever, as it is expressed v. 50. and speaks this in special Relation to Christ, who was to be his seed, and of whom he was an Eminent Type, and by whom alone this was done, to any purpose. And therefore this is justly applied to him, and to his Preaching to and calling of the Gentiles, Rom. 15. 9.
