2 Samuel 22

Verse of this chapter forms the title of the eighteenth psalm, with some alterations; the most remarkable of which is, the insertion of the words, “The servant of the Lord,” in which, it seems, the Psalmist deemed himself more honoured than in being a renowned conqueror, and a very prosperous king.—The language which may fairly be accommodated to spiritual blessings. He appears also primarily to speak of the Lord’s dealings with himself; yet he was led by the prophetic Spirit to utter many things, which may with great propriety be applied to the Redeemer, of whom the Redeemer’s sufferings and victories was an evident and remarkable type.—T.
