G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - 2 Samuel 22:1-51

The character of David is revealed in the two psalms recorded here. In the first of these, found in this chapter, we find the deepest things concerning him. It may be well to note its main divisions, with the definite teaching of each. 1. Verses 2 Samuel 22:2-4. Jehovah is declared to be the Source of all strength. 2. Verses 2 Samuel 22:5-16. All deliverances are wrought directly by Jehovah Himself. 3. Verses 2 Samuel 22:17-25. Deliverance is wrought by Jehovah on the condition of... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - 2 Samuel 22:1-51

A Psalm About The God Who Delivers, And Of How He Has Delivered (2 Samuel 22:1-51 ). Having revealed by the judgment on the house of Saul that God is a just God who deals severely with sin and judges those who go against His covenant (2 Samuel 21:1-14), and having described the earthly means (the mighty men) by which He had provided for the deliverance of both David and Israel (2 Samuel 21:15-22), the section now focuses in on the God of Deliverance Himself. Its purpose is to make clear that... read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - 2 Samuel 22:29-40

CRITICAL AND EXPOSITORY NOTES 2 Samuel 22:29. “Lamp.” “While light is always the symbol of good fortune and well-being (Job 18:5), the burning lamp denotes the source of lasting happiness and joyful strength.” (Job 18:6; Psalms 132:17; compare Isaiah 42:3; Isaiah 43:17). (Erdmann.)2 Samuel 22:30. “By thee.” Literally, in thee. “By the first noun David means the hostile bands he has encountered; by the second, the fortified places he has conquered.” (Erdmann.)2 Samuel 22:31. “Perfect,” i.e.,... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - 2 Samuel 22:1-51

Chapter 22In chapter twenty-two we have David's song of deliverance. Here is a psalm that is not in the Psalms, but it is here in second Samuel, and it is like the Psalms. It is one of David's psalms of God's deliverance.He spake unto the Lord the words of this song in the day that the Lord delivered him out of the hands of his enemies, and from Saul: And he said, The Lord is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer; The God of my rock; in him will I trust: he is my shield, the horn of my... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - 2 Samuel 22:1-51

2 Samuel 22:25 . The Lord hath recompensed me according to my righteousness. True indeed: but says St. Paul, the reward is not reckoned of debt, but of grace. See on Psalms 18:24. read more

The Biblical Illustrator - 2 Samuel 22:1-51

2 Samuel 22:1-51David spake unto the Lord the word of this song.The song of thanksgivingSome of David’s actions are very characteristic of himself; there are other actions quite out of harmony with his character. This psalm of thanksgiving belongs to the former order. It is quite like David, at the conclusion of his military enterprises, to cast his eye gratefully over the whole, and acknowledge the goodness and mercy that had followed him all along. The date of this song is not to be... read more

2 Samuel 22:33-34He maketh my way perfect. The perfect way indicatedA gentleman crossing the English Channel stood near the helmsman. It was a calm and pleasant evening, and no one dreamed of a possible danger to their good ship. But a sudden flapping of a sail, as if the wind had shifted, caught the ear of the officer on watch, and he sprang at once to the wheel, examining closely the compass. “You are half a point off the course,” he said sharply to the man at the wheel. The deviation was... read more
