2 Samuel 22
1. David's psalm of thanksgiving for God's deliverance and blessings














Berean Study Bible
who frees me
The phrase "who frees me" is rooted in the Hebrew word "פָּלַט" (palat), which means to escape, deliver, or save. This word is often used in the context of God providing a way out or liberation from danger. In the historical context of David's life, this reflects the numerous times God delivered him from the hands of Saul and other adversaries. Spiritually, it signifies God's power to liberate believers from sin and spiritual bondage, emphasizing His role as a divine rescuer.

from my enemies
The term "enemies" comes from the Hebrew "אוֹיֵב" (oyeb), which refers to adversaries or those who are hostile. In David's life, this included not only physical enemies like the Philistines but also internal threats such as betrayal from within his own ranks. This phrase reminds believers that God is aware of all forms of opposition they face, whether external or internal, and He is capable of delivering them from all.

You exalt me
"Exalt" is translated from the Hebrew "רוּם" (rum), meaning to lift up or raise. This word conveys the idea of God elevating David's status and position, often in the face of adversity. Historically, David was raised from a shepherd boy to the king of Israel, illustrating God's ability to elevate those who are humble and faithful. For Christians, this serves as a reminder that God honors and lifts up those who trust in Him, often in ways that defy human expectations.

above my foes
The phrase "above my foes" indicates a position of victory and superiority over adversaries. The Hebrew word "קָמִים" (qāmîm) for "foes" suggests those who rise up against someone. David's life was marked by many who sought to overthrow him, yet God consistently placed him in a position of triumph. This is a powerful assurance for believers that God can and will place them above their challenges, granting them victory through His strength.

You rescue me
"Rescue" is derived from the Hebrew "נָצַל" (natsal), meaning to snatch away, deliver, or save. This word emphasizes God's active role in saving His people from peril. In David's context, it reflects God's intervention in life-threatening situations. For Christians, it underscores the belief in God's ongoing deliverance from spiritual and physical dangers, affirming His role as a savior who is both willing and able to save.

from violent men
The term "violent men" is translated from the Hebrew "חָמָס" (chamas), which denotes violence, wrong, or cruelty. This word paints a picture of those who are ruthless and unjust. David faced many such individuals throughout his reign, yet God consistently protected him. This phrase serves as a reminder that God is a refuge against the injustices and violence of the world, offering protection and peace to those who seek Him.
