Psalms 18:51 Commentary: Radak, Metzudat Zion, Ibn Ezra & Metzudat David

מגדל [מַגְדִּיל֮] יְשׁוּע֪וֹת מַ֫לְכּ֥וֹ וְעֹ֤שֶׂה חֶ֨סֶד ׀ לִמְשִׁיח֗וֹ לְדָוִ֥ד וּלְזַרְע֗וֹ עַד־עוֹלָֽם׃

Great salvation giveth He to His king; and showeth mercy to His anointed, To David and to his seed, for evermore.

Radak on Psalms

Magdil ["{God} magnifies"] salvations. Magdil, and in the Book of (II) Samuel (22:51), [it is written as] migdol ["a tower"], and it is a descriptor--but the idea is one [and the same].
