2 Samuel 22

1. David's psalm of thanksgiving for God's deliverance and blessings

Berean Study Bible

David sang this song
The phrase "David sang this song" introduces us to a moment of profound personal expression and worship. The Hebrew root for "sang" is "שִׁיר" (shir), which implies not just singing but a form of musical storytelling. David, known as the "sweet psalmist of Israel" (2 Samuel 23:1), often used music to convey his deepest emotions and experiences. This act of singing is a testament to the power of music in worship and its ability to communicate the heart's deepest gratitude and reliance on God.

to the LORD
The phrase "to the LORD" signifies the direction and purpose of David's song. The Hebrew name used here is "יהוה" (YHWH), the covenant name of God, emphasizing a personal and relational aspect of worship. David's song is not merely a public declaration but an intimate offering to the God who has been his refuge and strength. This highlights the importance of directing our praise and thanksgiving to God, acknowledging His sovereignty and faithfulness in our lives.

on the day
The phrase "on the day" marks a specific moment in time, underscoring the immediacy and relevance of David's response to God's deliverance. It suggests that worship and gratitude should be timely and spontaneous, arising naturally from our experiences of God's intervention in our lives. This immediacy reflects a heart attuned to God's actions and a readiness to acknowledge His hand in our circumstances.

the LORD had delivered him
The phrase "the LORD had delivered him" speaks to the central theme of divine rescue and salvation. The Hebrew root "נצל" (natsal) means to snatch away, rescue, or save, indicating a powerful act of deliverance. This underscores the belief in God's active involvement in the lives of His people, providing protection and deliverance from peril. It is a reminder of God's faithfulness and His ability to save us from our adversaries.

from the hand of all his enemies
The phrase "from the hand of all his enemies" highlights the comprehensive nature of God's deliverance. The "hand" symbolizes power and control, and being delivered from the "hand" of enemies signifies liberation from their power and influence. This reflects the biblical theme of God as a warrior who fights on behalf of His people, ensuring their victory over all forms of opposition.

and from the hand of Saul
The phrase "and from the hand of Saul" personalizes the deliverance, pointing to a specific adversary in David's life. Saul, the first king of Israel, became an enemy to David due to jealousy and fear. This deliverance from Saul is significant as it marks a turning point in David's life, transitioning from a fugitive to a king. It serves as a reminder that God is able to deliver us from even the most personal and persistent threats, bringing us into the fullness of His promises.

Pulpit Commentary

Verse 1. - David spake. The introduction was probably written by the prophet who compiled the Books of Samuel. The scribe who collected the Book of Psalms would be a priest, and he has repeated it with one or two additions, the most important of which is that the psalm was written "by David the servant of Jehovah." This title; meaning the minister or vicegerent of Jehovah, is one so high that it would certainly not have been given to David in his lifetime; nor was it even until Moses was dead that he was honoured with this rank (Deuteronomy 34:5). But what was David's right to this title, which put him on a level with Moses? It was this: In adding to the sacrificial ritual enacted by Moses a daily service in the temple of sacred minstrelsy and songs, David was acting with higher powers than were ever exercised by any other person. For though, as we have seen, Samuel was the originator of these services in his schools, yet. there is a wide difference between private and public services; and David made his anthems part of the national liturgy. But it would only be when the halo of long use had gathered round his holy psalmody that David would be placed on in equality with Moses, and his authority a institute a new ritual for the nation be recognized.
