What Does 2 Samuel 22:30 Mean?
David celebrates the power God gives: 'by thee' he can charge a whole troop, and 'by my God' he can leap over a wall. The obstacles that should stop him become things he runs through and bounds over.
The repeated phrase is the heart of it: 'by thee', 'by my God.' The strength is not David's own but God's working through him. Whatever wall rises before the believer, this verse points not to self-confidence but to God-confidence, the assurance that with Him the impossible barrier can be crossed.
