 11And all the angels stood round about the throne, and about the elders and the four beasts, and fell before the throne on their faces, and worshipped God,
 12Saying, Amen: Blessing, and glory, and wisdom, and thanksgiving, and honor, and power, and might, be unto our God for ever and ever. Amen.
 13And one of the elders answered, saying unto me, What are these which are arrayed in white robes? and whence came they?
 14And I said unto him, Sir, thou knowest. And he said to me, These are they which came out of great tribulation, and have washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.
 15Therefore are they before the throne of God, and serve him day and night in his temple: and he that sitteth on the throne shall dwell among them.
 16They shall hunger no more, neither thirst any more; neither shall the sun light on them, nor any heat.
 17For the Lamb which is in the midst of the throne shall feed them, and shall lead them unto living fountains of waters: and God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes. (Rev. 7:9‑17)

(1 Sam. 27:1)
• 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)
