The Pulpit Commentary - 2 Samuel 22:1-4
Songs of deliverance. The facts are: 1 . David composes a song at the end of all the deliverances which during his life God had wrought for him. 2 . He describes God as being to him a Rock, a Fortress, a Shield, a High Tower, a Place of Refuge, and represents him as being actively his Deliverer and Saviour. 3 . He, in looking on to the future, resolves to trust in him who had been so much to his life in the past, and expects to be saved from his enemies. 4 . He, reviewing... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - 2 Samuel 22:1-51
EXPOSITION Of the date when David wrote this psalm there can be little doubt. It was at the close of his first great series of victories, after Toi, the Hittite King of Hamath, had sent to him an embassy of congratulation ( 2 Samuel 8:9 , 2 Samuel 8:10 ), referred to very triumphantly in verses 45, 46. But there is no trace in it of the sorrow and shame that clouded over his latter days; and no man whose conscience was stained with sins so dark as those of adultery and murder could... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - 2 Samuel 22:1-51
( Psalms 18:1-50 .).—( JERUSALEM .) David's song of praise. "And David spake unto Jehovah the words of this song," etc. ( 2 Samuel 22:1 ). It is a song of: 1 . The anointed ( messiah ) of the Lord, his king ( 2 Samuel 22:51 ), his servant ( Psalms 18:1-50 ; inscription). Like Moses and Joshua, David held a peculiar and exalted position in the kingdom of God under the Old Testament. He was "a man [unlike Saul] of God's own choosing" ( 1 Samuel 13:14 ; 1 Samuel... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - 2 Samuel 22:2-4
Jehovah is my Cliff and my Stronghold and my Deliverer: The God of my rock, in whom I take refuge; My Shield and the Horn of my salvation, My Fastness and my Place of refuge: My Saviour: thou savest me from violence. I call upon Jehovah, the praised One, And I am saved from my enemies." The Syriac in 2 Samuel 22:2 inserts, "Fervently do I love thee, Jehovah my Strength;" but it probably only borrows the words from Psalms 18:1 . For we may well believe that it was at a later... read more

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - 2 Samuel 22:2-51
Let us observe, in this song of praise, I. How David adores God, and gives him the glory of his infinite perfections. There is none like him, nor any to be compared with him (2 Sam. 22:32): Who is God, save the Lord? All others that are adored as deities are counterfeits and pretenders. None is to be relied on but he. Who is a rock, save our God? They are dead, but the Lord liveth, 2 Sam. 22:47. They disappoint their worshippers when they most need them. But as for God his way is perfect, 2... read more
