Exegetical and Hermeneutical Commentary of 2 Samuel 22:28
And the afflicted people thou wilt save: but thine eyes [are] upon the haughty, [that] thou mayest bring [them] down.
28. thine eyes, &c.] Thine eyes are against the haughty, whom thou bringest low. In Psa 18:27 a more usual phrase is found: “haughty eyes dost thou bring low.” Cp. Isa 2:11-12; Isa 2:17.
the afflicted people ] The Heb. words for poor or afflicted and for humble are closely connected; and as afflicted is here contrasted with haughty, it may be understood to mean those who through the discipline of suffering have learnt humility. Cp. Luk 6:20 with Mat 5:3.
