2 Sam 22:1–51 David’s song recorded in this chapter is almost identical with Psalm 18, where it was adapted to serve as a public hymn.
2 Sam 22:5–6 Here Sheol is a synonym for “death.”
2 Sam 22:7 Heard implies an attentive listening and, usually, a positive response. Temple probably refers to the heavenly temple of God, from which he came down (v. 10; see Ps. 11:4; Mic. 1:2–3).
2 Sam 22:8–16 The Lord’s sudden appearance to help David is described in vivid language. It sounds like a description of a volcano, which causes earthquake, smoke, fire, fiery coals, and ash clouds (compare Ps. 77:18; Isa. 5:25; 24:18).
2 Sam 22:10 Bowed the heavens could mean “spread open” or “parted” the heavens.
2 Sam 22:15 Them refers to David’s enemies.
2 Sam 22:17 many waters. Compare v. 5, where “waves” and “torrents” of trouble were overwhelming David.
2 Sam 22:20 A broad place is a place of comfort and freedom.
2 Sam 22:26–27 To the crooked, God shows himself tortuous. That is, he makes simple truths seem confusing and impossible to understand.
2 Sam 22:35 A bow of bronze is probably a bow reinforced with bronze, which would be powerful but difficult to draw.
