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.
