Commentary on 2 Samuel 22:7

Theological / Devotional

Upon the Lord. Constantly surrounded by perils, David came to realize, as few men have, his continual need of the protecting hand of God. Danger caused him to pray and to look to the Lord for help. The perilous life he lived helped to confirm his deep religious experience. His anxieties drew him to God and gave him a personal acquaintance with the Lord’s constant guidance and care.

Out of his temple. From God’s heavenly dwelling place He looks down upon men in their distress and sends them the needed grace and strength. David recognized the temple of heaven as the abiding place of God: “The Lord is in his holy temple, the Lord’s throne is in heaven” (Ps. 11:4).
