Barnes' Notes on the Bible

This song, which is found with scarcely any material variation as Psalms 18:0, and with the words of this first verse for its title, belongs to the early part of David’s reign when he was recently established upon the throne of all Israel, and when his final triumph over the house of Saul, and over the pagan nations 2 Samuel 22:44-46, Philistines, Moabites, Syrians, Ammonites, and Edomites, was still fresh 2 Samuel 21:0. For a commentary on the separate verses the reader is referred to the commentary on Psalms 18:0.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

CHAPTER XXII

David's psalm of thanksgiving for God's powerful deliverance

and manifold blessings, including prophetic declarations

relative to the humiliation and exaltation of the Messiah,

1-51.

NOTES ON CHAP. XXII

Verse 2 Samuel 22:1. David spake unto the Lord the words of this song — This is the same in substance, and almost in words, with Psalms 18:1-50, and therefore the exposition of it must be reserved till it occurs in its course in that book, with the exception of a very few observations, and Dr. Kennicott's general view of the subject.
