And David spake unto the Lord the words of this song in the day [that] the Lord had delivered him out of the hand of all his enemies, and out of the hand of Saul.] (See Gill on Psalms 18:1).
1
David prayed to God the words of this song after God saved him from all his enemies and from Saul.
2
God is bedrock under my feet, the castle in which I live, my rescuing knight.
3
My God - the high crag where I run for dear life, hiding behind the boulders, safe in the granite hideout; My mountaintop refuge, he saves me from ruthless men.
4
I sing to God the Praise-Lofty, and find myself safe and saved.
5
The waves of death crashed over me, devil waters rushed over me.
