2 Samuel 22:27-37

27 con el puro eres puro, y con el perverso eres sagaz.

28 Salvas al pueblo afligido, pero tus ojos están sobre los altivos a quienes tú humillas.

29 Porque tú eres mi lámpara, oh SEÑOR; el SEÑOR alumbra mis tinieblas.

30 Pues contigo aplastaré ejércitos, con mi Dios escalaré murallas.

31 En cuanto a Dios, su camino es perfecto; acrisolada es la palabra del SEÑOR; El es escudo a todos los que a El se acogen.

32 Pues ¿quién es Dios, fuera del SEÑOR? ¿Y quién es roca, sino sólo nuestro Dios?

33 Dios es mi fortaleza poderosa, y el que pone al íntegro en su camino.

34 El hace mis pies como de ciervas, y me afirma en mis alturas.

35 El adiestra mis manos para la batalla, y mis brazos para tensar el arco de bronce.

36 Tú me has dado también el escudo de tu salvación, y tu ayuda me engrandece.

37 Ensanchas mis pasos debajo de mí, y mis pies no han resbalado.

2 Samuel 22:27-37 Meaning and Commentary

INTRODUCTION TO SECOND SAMUEL 22

This chapter contains a song or psalm, the same with the eighteenth psalm, and which, according to Jarchi, was composed by David in his old age, and, as Kimchi says, at the end or close of his days; but Abarbinel is of opinion that it was written in his youthful time, in the midst of his troubles, and was sung by him as often as he had a deliverance from any; and which may account for the several variations in it from the eighteenth psalm, which, the same writer observes, are seventy four; and are not to be ascribed to the difference of copies, or neglect of copiers: and very probably, towards the close of his days, he revised it, and made it fit for general use, and sent it with the rest of his psalms to the chief musician; but the particular consideration of it, and of the differences in it from Ps 18:1-50 are referred to the exposition of that book in its course.
