David spoke the words of this song to the Lord when the Lord rescued him from the hands of all his enemies and from the hand of Saul.
This song, virtually identical to Psalm 18, shows David the warrior-king also as Israel's chief poet - history and psalm interwoven in the book's own structure, not two separate genres kept apart.
