22. The enemy shall not exact upon him. He will
not be vexed and persecuted as a helpless debtor by an extortionate creditor. Nor the son of wickedness afflict him. Graceless people will no longer make his
life a burden. David had striven to act justly towards Saul, because he was the
Lord’s anointed, yet Saul persecuted him relentlessly. The covenant, therefore,
engaged that his life of hardship and oppression should come to an end forever;
it did so in David’s own person, and more remarkably still in the life of
Solomon, his son. Who does not in all this see a type of the Lord Jesus, who
though he was once seized for our debts, and also evilly treated by the
ungodly, is now so exalted that he can never be exacted upon any more.
