2 Samuel 22:1 - Forerunner Commentary

2 Samuel 22:1

Praise for God’s Deliverance

1 Then David ^aspoke to the Lord the words of this song, on the day when the Lord had ^bdelivered him from the hand of all his enemies, and from the hand of Saul.

2 And he ^asaid:
^b“The Lord is my rock and my ^cfortress and my deliverer;

3 The God of my strength, ^ain whom I will trust;
My ^bshield and the ^chorn of my salvation,
My ^dstronghold and my ^erefuge;
My Savior, You save me from violence.

4 I will call upon the Lord, who is worthy to be praised;
So shall I be saved from my enemies.

II Samuel 22:1-3

I mention this because we need to be as precise as possible when speaking the Word of God. But also I thought there was something else here which will fit very well later on into this sermon. This is why we began in II Samuel, chapter 22, verse 1. In verse 3, the word strength as translated in the New King James is not in the King James Version or in the Authorized Version, but the translators added it because it carries with it the sense of the rest of the verse. Within the violence around him, David knew only God was his place of refuge and his strength.
