(Occurrence 0) For the waves of death surrounded me, the rushing waters of destruction overwhelmed me
(Some words not found in UHB: that/for/because/then/when encompassed,me waves death torrents destruction overwhelmed,me )
David compares the wicked men who wanted to kill him to flood waters that are about to drown him. These sentences have similar meanings and are used for emphasis. (See also: figs-parallelism)
(Occurrence 0) the rushing waters of destruction
(Some words not found in UHB: that/for/because/then/when encompassed,me waves death torrents destruction overwhelmed,me )
This is a picture of fast-flowing flood waters that destroy everything in their path.
22:1-51 Although this prayer of thanksgiving (also recorded in Ps 18) is placed near the end of David’s story, David probably offered it to God much earlier in his life. This prayer and Hannah’s (1 Sam 2:1-10) together enclose the book of Samuel with an inclusio (literary bookends). Hannah was saved from barrenness; David was saved from his enemies. The placement of this hymn also provides a parallel to Moses. The stories of both Moses and David end with a song or hymn giving lavish praise to God (see also Deut 31:30–32:43). Both highlight God as a “Rock” (Deut 32:4, 15, 18, 30, 31; 2 Sam 22:2, 3, 32, 47). Both are followed by second and shorter poetic pieces—Moses’ final blessing to the Israelite tribes (Deut 33), and David’s last words (2 Sam 23:1-7).
