David's psalm of thanksgiving for God's deliverance and blessingsThe LORD has rewarded me according to my righteousness; This phrase reflects the biblical principle of divine retribution, where God rewards individuals based on their moral conduct. In the context of 2 Samuel 22, David is expressing gratitude for God's deliverance and favor, attributing it to his own righteousness. This righteousness is not self-proclaimed but is seen in the light of David's covenant relationship with God. The concept of righteousness in the Old Testament often involves adherence to God's laws and commands, as seen in Deuteronomy 6:25. David's life, despite its flaws, is marked by a heart that seeks after God, as noted in 1 Samuel 13:14. This phrase also foreshadows the ultimate righteousness found in Jesus Christ, who perfectly fulfilled the law and offers His righteousness to believers (2 Corinthians 5:21). He has repaid me according to the cleanness of my hands. Persons / Places / Events 1. DavidThe author of this song of praise, David is reflecting on his life and God's deliverance.
