2 Samuel 22:26-27 NASB,NASB

The People's Bible by Joseph Parker - 2 Samuel 22:1-51

Poetry At Life's End 2 Samuel 22:2; 2 Samuel 23:02 Samuel 23:0 THE twenty-second chapter, although marked by quite a number of slight changes, is identical with Psalm xviii. The fifty-first verse shows that this song must have been composed after the visit of Nathan, at which David received the promise of the perpetuity of his kingdom. As this psalm will be treated in its proper place in the psalter we propose to pass over it here, and proceed at once to the twenty-third chapter. In doing so... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - 2 Samuel 22:26-27

(26) With the merciful thou wilt shew thyself merciful, and with the upright man thou wilt shew thyself upright. (27) With the pure thou wilt shew thyself pure; and with the froward thou wilt shew thyself unsavoury. To a true believer in CHRIST, GOD'S righteousness is as dear and precious as his mercy, or his love; because he sees in JESUS, as the GOD-man, that righteousness fully glorified, and grace reigning through righteousness unto eternal life. So that to the pure all things are pure,... read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - 2 Samuel 22:21-51

Praise and Prophecy v. 21. The Lord rewarded me according to my righteousness; according to the cleanness of my hands hath he recompensed me. The righteousness of the heart is seen in the purity of the acts of his hands, in their abstaining from sin and unrighteousness. v. 22. For I have kept the ways of the Lord, observing the rules of conduct laid down in His Law, and have not wickedly departed from my God, not fallen away from God through wickedness. v. 23. For all His judgments were... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - 2 Samuel 22:1-51

The character of David is revealed in the two psalms recorded here. In the first of these, found in this chapter, we find the deepest things concerning him. It may be well to note its main divisions, with the definite teaching of each. 1. Verses 2 Samuel 22:2-4. Jehovah is declared to be the Source of all strength. 2. Verses 2 Samuel 22:5-16. All deliverances are wrought directly by Jehovah Himself. 3. Verses 2 Samuel 22:17-25. Deliverance is wrought by Jehovah on the condition of... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - 2 Samuel 22:1-51

A Psalm About The God Who Delivers, And Of How He Has Delivered (2 Samuel 22:1-51 ). Having revealed by the judgment on the house of Saul that God is a just God who deals severely with sin and judges those who go against His covenant (2 Samuel 21:1-14), and having described the earthly means (the mighty men) by which He had provided for the deliverance of both David and Israel (2 Samuel 21:15-22), the section now focuses in on the God of Deliverance Himself. Its purpose is to make clear that... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - 2 Samuel 22:1-51

Chapter 22In chapter twenty-two we have David's song of deliverance. Here is a psalm that is not in the Psalms, but it is here in second Samuel, and it is like the Psalms. It is one of David's psalms of God's deliverance.He spake unto the Lord the words of this song in the day that the Lord delivered him out of the hands of his enemies, and from Saul: And he said, The Lord is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer; The God of my rock; in him will I trust: he is my shield, the horn of my... read more
