Let us observe, in this song of praise, I. How David adores God, and gives him the glory of his infinite perfections.

Who is a rock, save our God?

2Sa 22:5-7 5 For breakers of death had compassed me, Streams of wickedness terrified me. 6 Cords of hell had girt me about, Snares of death overtook me. 7 In my distress I called Jehovah, And to my God I called; And He heard my voice out of His temple, And my crying came into His ears.
