 12saying, Amen: Blessing, and glory, and wisdom, and thanksgiving, and honour, and power, and strength, to our God, to the ages of ages. Amen.
 13And one of the elders answered, saying to me, These who are clothed with white robes, who are they, and whence came they?
 14And I said to him, My lord, *thou* knowest. And he said to me, These are they who come out of the great tribulation, and have washed their robes, and have made them white in the blood of the Lamb.

• In chapter 22 David comes forth from his sufferings and his affliction with a song of triumph and of praise. He had learned what God was in his sufferings. He celebrates all that God had been for him, all that he had found Him to be in his necessities and dangers. (“2 Samuel 22-23” by J.N. Darby)
• We have now reached David's final deliverance. All his enemies, of whom Saul was one (2 Sam. 22:1), have disappeared. This song which historically belongs at the beginning of 2 Sam. 7 is placed here because the last enemy of David and of his people has just been defeated (2 Sam. 21:21) and from now on this hostile power will never again raise its head. Indeed, these words which we find again in Psa. 18 could not have been spoken on this occasion, for they mention a time when David was not under discipline. (“The Song of Deliverance: 2 Samuel 22” by H.L. Rossier)
• {v.1-19} The first part (Psa. 18:1-19) celebrates deliverance from Saul's hand: "He delivered me from my strong enemy" (Psa. 18:17). This deliverance recalls that of Israel, saved from Pharaoh's pursuit, crossing the Red Sea. (“The Song of Deliverance: 2 Samuel 22” by H.L. Rossier)
