Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - 2 Samuel 22:31-46

(31) As for God, his way is perfect; the word of the LORD is tried: he is a buckler to all them that trust in him. (32) For who is God, save the LORD? and who is a rock, save our God? (33) God is my strength and power: and he maketh my way perfect. (34) He maketh my feet like hinds' feet: and setteth me upon my high places. (35) He teacheth my hands to war; so that a bow of steel is broken by mine arms. (36) Thou hast also given me the shield of thy salvation: and thy gentleness hath made me... read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - 2 Samuel 22:21-51

Praise and Prophecy v. 21. The Lord rewarded me according to my righteousness; according to the cleanness of my hands hath he recompensed me. The righteousness of the heart is seen in the purity of the acts of his hands, in their abstaining from sin and unrighteousness. v. 22. For I have kept the ways of the Lord, observing the rules of conduct laid down in His Law, and have not wickedly departed from my God, not fallen away from God through wickedness. v. 23. For all His judgments were... read more

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

Sermon Bible Commentary - 2 Samuel 22:36

2 Samuel 22:36 These words gather up into their brief utterance all the song of the great king David when he recounted his greatness, and reveal at once the secret of his greatness and the heart of his song. David knew God as few human souls have done. He knew Him as the Creator and the Judge, but when he comes to consider his own life, it is to the gentleness of God he turns. All the lights and shadows and depths and heights of his manifold spiritual life had this for their source, and only... read more
