He is the tower of salvation for his king: and sheweth mercy to his anointed, unto David, and to his seed for evermore.

Verse 51 is found in chapter 22 of 2 Samuel. The poem concludes by celebrating that God equips David for battle, gives him strength, subdues his enemies, and establishes his greatness. Victory does not end in personal exaltation: David blesses the Lord and recognizes that God shows steadfast love to his anointed and his descendants. The reference to descendants connects the song with the promise of 2 Samuel 7. The poem functions as a theological interpretation of the reign: God is the ultimate source of victory and Davidic continuity.

der seinem Könige großes Heil beweist und wohltut seinem Gesalbten, David und seinem Samen ewiglich.
El que engrandece las saludes de su rey, Y hace misericordia a su ungido, A David, y a su simiente, para siempre.
Il accorde de grandes délivrances à son roi, Et il fait miséricorde à son oint, A David, et à sa postérité, pour toujours.
Il quale rende magnifiche le vittorie del suo re, Ed usa benignità inverso Davide, suo Unto, E inverso la sua progenie, in sempiterno
Ele é a torre das salvações do seu rei, e usa de benignidade com o seu ungido, com Davi, e com a sua descendência para sempre.
耶和華賜極大的救恩給他所立的王, 施慈愛給他的受膏者, 就是給 大衛 和他的後裔,直到永遠!
