Chapter 22 records [[David]]'s song of deliverance. Psalm 18 is a parallel to this chapter. We see that chapter 22 is prophetic and looks beyond the sufferings and triumphs of [[David]] to [[David]]'s seed, the [[Lord]] [[Jesus Christ]]. Verses 1-4 show praise; verses 5-7 show [[David]]'s suffering as a fugitive from Saul, and also speaks of Christ's rejection; verses 8-20 speak of [[God]]'s intervention; and verses 21-28 show the rewards of the [[Lord]]. Finally, praise to the [[Lord]] for exaltation over his foes is given in verses 29-51. We must understand the [[judgment]] of enemies (verses 29-43) and exaltation over adversaries (verses 44-49) will be realized only by Him into whose hands is committed all [[judgment]] ([[John]] 5:22).

+

Chapter 23 records [[David]]'s last words, as well as giving a roster of [[David]]'s heroes. This chapter shows what [[David]]'s mind was on at the close of his glorious but troubled life: the justice of his reign as king; his creation of the [[Psalms]]; his devotion to [[God]]'s Word; and [[God]]'s covenant with him of an eternal dynasty. Verses 3 and 4 picture the clear morning of the Kingdom Age.

+

All in all, [[David]] was a grand character. He did some things that were very wrong, but he was a remarkable man. He was completely devoted to [[God]] and the ways of [[God]]. In a world of idolatry, and in a nation that was continually falling away into idolatry, [[David]] stood like a rock for [[God]]. In every circumstance of life he went directly to [[God]]--in prayer, in thanks, or in praise. His two great accomplishments were the Kingdom and the [[Psalms]].
