2 Samuel 22:7

_IN MY DISTRESS I CALLED UPON THE LORD, AND CRIED TO MY GOD: AND HE DID HEAR MY VOICE OUT OF HIS TEMPLE, AND MY CRY DID ENTER INTO HIS EARS._ In my distress I called upon the Lord - literally, in the distress to me. AND CRIED TO MY GOD - "my," as standing to me in a covenant relation, and whom, having often addressed my prayer to him, I could approach in an enlightened knowledge of his character and confident reliance on his grace. AND HE DID HEAR MY VOICE OUT OF HIS TEMPLE, х_ MEEHEEYKAALOW_ (H1964)] - from his palace. Joined with Yahweh, cheeykaal sometimes denotes the tabernacle (1 Samuel 1:9; 1 Samuel 3:3; Psalms 5:8); at other times th

EXPOSITION DAVID'S PSALM OF THANKSGIVING. This song, which is identical with Psalms 18:1; though with many verbal differences, is so universally acknowledged as a genuine composition of King David, that the objections taken by one or two critics serve only to give us greater security by reminding us that the other side has been carefully argued. The differences between its form here and in the Book of Psalms suggest many important considerations with regard to textual criticism. From the absence of manuscripts, we have very scanty means of judging of the correctness of the ordinary Hebrew text. We have, indeed, abundant proof that the Jews took extreme care of their sacred text in the early centuries of our era; but we nevertheless find, most frequently in names, mistakes which have arisen from the care
