David Sings to the Lord
22:11 David sang2 to the Lord the words of this song when3 the Lord rescued him from the power4 of all his enemies, including Saul.522:2He said:
Footnotes
- 1 In this long song of thanks, David affirms that God is his faithful protector. He recalls in highly poetic fashion how God intervened in awesome power and delivered him from death. His experience demonstrates that God vindicates those who are blameless and remain loyal to him. True to his promises, God gives the king victory on the battlefield and enables him to subdue nations. A parallel version of the song appears in Ps 18.
- 2 Heb “spoke.”
- 3 Heb “in the day,” or “at the time.”
- 4 Heb “hand.”
- 5 Heb “and from the hand of Saul.”
- 6 Traditionally “is my rock”; “mighty rock”; “is my protector.” This metaphor pictures God as a rocky, relatively inaccessible summit, where one would be able to find protection from enemies. See 1 Sam 23:25, 28.
- 7 Traditionally “my fortress”; “my strong fortress”; “my protection.” My stronghold. David often found safety in such strongholds. See 1 Sam 22:4–5; 24:22; 2 Sam 5:9, 17; 23:14.
