 10and they cry with a loud voice, saying, The salvation to our God that sitteth on the throne and to the Lamb.
 11And all the angels stood around the throne and the elders and the four living creatures, and they fell before the throne upon their faces, and worshipped God,
 12saying, Amen: The blessing and the glory and the wisdom and the thanksgiving and the honour and the power and the strength to our God unto the ages of the ages. [Amen.]
 13And one of the elders answered, saying to me, These that are clothed with white robes, who are they, and whence came they?
 14And I said to him, My lord, thou knowest. And he said to me, These are they that come out of the great tribulation, and they washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.
 15Therefore are they before the throne of God and serve him day and night in his temple; and he that sitteth on the throne shall tabernacle over them.
 16They shall hunger no more neither thirst any more nor in any wise shall the sun fall upon them nor any heat.
 17For the Lamb that is in the midst of the throne shall tend them and shall lead them to fountains of waters of life, and God shall wipe away every tear from their eyes. (Rev. 7:9‑17)

1 Sam. 27:1• 1And David said in his heart, I shall now perish one day by the hand of Saul, There is nothing better for me than that I should speedily escape into the land of the Philistines; and Saul will despair of me to seek me anymore within all the limits of Israel, and I shall escape out of his hand. (1 Sam. 27:1)
• In chapter 22 David comes forth from his sufferings and his affliction with a song of triumph and of praise. He had learned what God was in his sufferings. He celebrates all that God had been for him, all that he had found Him to be in his necessities and dangers. (“2 Samuel 22-23” by J.N. Darby)
• We have now reached David's final deliverance. All his enemies, of whom Saul was one (2 Sam. 22:1), have disappeared. This song which historically belongs at the beginning of 2 Sam. 7 is placed here because the last enemy of David and of his people has just been defeated (2 Sam. 21:21) and from now on this hostile power will never again raise its head. Indeed, these words which we find again in Psa. 18 could not have been spoken on this occasion, for they mention a time when David was not under discipline. (“The Song of Deliverance: 2 Samuel 22” by H.L. Rossier)
• {v.1-19} The first part (Psa. 18:1-19) celebrates deliverance from Saul's hand: "He delivered me from my strong enemy" (Psa. 18:17). This deliverance recalls that of Israel, saved from Pharaoh's pursuit, crossing the Red Sea. (“The Song of Deliverance: 2 Samuel 22” by H.L. Rossier)
