CHAPTER 22

. DAVID'S PSALM
OF THANKSGIVING FOR
GOD'S POWERFUL
DELIVERANCE AND MANIFOLD
BLESSINGS.
The song contained in this chapter
is the same as the eighteenth Psalm, where the full commentary will
be given [see on , &c.].
It may be sufficient simply to remark that Jewish writers have
noticed a great number of very minute variations in the language of
the song as recorded here, from that embodied in the Book of
Psalms—which may be accounted for by the fact that this, the first
copy of the poem, was carefully revised and altered by David
afterwards, when it was set to the music of the tabernacle. This
inspired ode was manifestly the effusion of a mind glowing with the
highest fervor of piety and gratitude, and it is full of the noblest
imagery that is to be found within the range even of sacred poetry.
It is David's grand tribute of thanksgiving for deliverance from his
numerous and powerful enemies, and establishing him in the power and
glory of the kingdom.
