The Life of David
David’s Song of Deliverance
II Samuel 22:1-51
It is a marvelous song in which David praises God for the many ways in which he delivered David.
I think that David had a wonderfully clear understanding that God was his designer, creator, and fixer.
I. The Context of Praising God for His Deliverance (II Samuel 22:15-17)
He saw how the Lord had delivered him on numerous occasions from many enemies.
II. The Content of Praising God for His Deliverance (II Samuel 22:2-3)
In Matthew 5-7 Jesus was teaching his disciples how to live as citizens of his kingdom in world full of sin.
So, a “fortress” protects one from the enemy. A “shield” also protects one from the attacking missiles of the enemy.
As David contemplated the ways in which God had delivered him from so many situations, he praised God for being his savior.
In his stronghold, he had a strong sense of God delivering him from attacks.
When David was young and constantly on the run from Saul, it seems that he knew every hill, every valley, every cave, and every place to hide from Saul. It was in these places of refuge that God provided a refuge and safety for David.
David praised God for being his strength, shield, savior, security, and safety.
