What Does 2 Samuel 22:32 Mean?
David asks two questions that answer themselves: 'who is God, save the LORD?' and 'who is a rock, save our God?' There is no other. Every rival to which a heart might cling is exposed as no rock at all.
The image of the rock returns from the song's opening, framing all that lies between. Notice the shift to 'our God', for this is not David's private discovery but a confession the whole people share. There is one sure foundation, and the believer who stands on Him stands on the only Rock that will not fail.
2 Samuel 22:32 in the Original Language
