Note: This view shows ‘verses’ which are not natural language units and hence sometimes only part of a sentence will be visible. Normally the OET discourages the reading of individual ‘verses’, but this view is only designed as a tool for doing comparisons of different translations. Click on any Bible version abbreviation down the left-hand side to see the verse in more of its context. The OET segments on this page are still very early looks into the unfinished texts of the Open English Translation of the Bible. Please double-check these texts in advance before using in public.

TSN Tyndale Study Notes:

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).

UTN uW Translation Notes:

(Occurrence 0) The word of Yahweh is pure

(Some words not found in UHB: the,God entire/complete/moral its=road/course word_of YHWH flawless shield he/it to=all/each/any/every the,take_refuge in/on/over=him/it )

Alternate translation: “Everything Yahweh says is true”

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

(Occurrence 0) He is a shield

(Some words not found in UHB: the,God entire/complete/moral its=road/course word_of YHWH flawless shield he/it to=all/each/any/every the,take_refuge in/on/over=him/it )

The metaphor “a shield” emphasizes God’s power to protect his people.
