What does Psalm 18:50 mean?

David rejoices that God granted him salvation. Not only did God deliver him from his enemies (2 Samuel 22:1) but the Lord also brought David into a right relationship with Himself. David was rescued from his enemies, and this theme of redemption echoes in the way the Messiah saves is from our sins. Further, David praises God for his steadfast love. God never withdraws His love from those whom He saves, and His love extends to David's offspring, his descendants, forever.

Throughout history the people of Israel have endured many intense persecutions, but they have survived because God loves them forever. In the tribulation period that follows the removal of the church from the earth, Satan will unleash his fury on Israel (Revelation 12), but God will provide an escape for His people. At the close of the tribulation a remnant of saved Jews will enter Messiah's earthly kingdom (Micah 2:12; Zechariah 2:6–12; 8:7–8, 22–23; 13:1). God's steadfast love also rests upon believers today. Nothing can separate us from His love (Romans 8:38–39).
