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 22:20-28

CRITICAL AND EXPOSITORY NOTES 2 Samuel 22:20. “Large place.” Lit. the broad, a condition of freedom and safety in contrast with the straits and dangers of the past.2 Samuel 22:21. The Lord rewarded, or, requited. Alexander in Psalms 18:0 translates the verbs of this clause into the future tense: “They have reference,” he says, “to the condition of the Psalmist under his afflictions, and the hopes which he was even then enabled to cherish.” “Cleanness of hands.” Dr. Jamieson sees here a special... 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

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

The Biblical Illustrator - 2 Samuel 22:26-27

2 Samuel 22:26-27With the merciful thou wilt show thyself merciful.God does not forgive the unforgivingYou say that the desert is a desert, because no rain falls upon it; but this is only half the truth. No rain falls upon it because it is a desert. The heated air rushing up from its arid surface disperses the vapours that would descend in rain. Some moisture there must be on the earth, else there cannot be rain from heaven. So in your heart this forgiving disposition must be, else you cannot... read more
