In the biblical context, kings were often seen as God's appointed leaders, and their successes in battle were attributed to divine intervention. The concept of God granting victory is prevalent throughout the Old Testament, as seen in the stories of King Saul, King David, and King Solomon. In <a href="/1_samuel/17.htm">1 Samuel 17</a>, David's victory over Goliath is a prime example of God granting triumph to His chosen leader. This phrase also reflects the belief that earthly authority is under God's sovereign control, as echoed in <a href="/romans/13.htm">Romans 13:1</a>, which states that all authority comes from God.<p><b>who frees His servant David</b><br>David is often referred to as God's servant, highlighting his role as a chosen leader and a man after God's own heart (<a href="/1_samuel/13-14.htm">1 Samuel 13:14</a>). The historical context of David's life includes numerous instances where he was delivered from danger, such as his escape from King Saul's attempts on his life (1 Samuel 19-24). This deliverance is seen as a testament to God's faithfulness and protection over those He appoints. David's life serves as a type of Christ, foreshadowing Jesus as the ultimate Servant King who would deliver His people from sin and death.<p><b>from the deadly sword</b><br>The "deadly sword" symbolizes the threats and dangers that David faced throughout his life, including battles with the Philistines and internal conflicts within Israel. The sword is often a metaphor for warfare and violence in the Bible, representing the physical and spiritual battles God's people endure. In <a href="/ephesians/6-17.htm">Ephesians 6:17</a>, the "sword of the Spirit" is described as the Word of God, indicating that spiritual victory is achieved through divine truth. David's deliverance from the sword underscores God's power to protect and save, a theme that resonates with the deliverance offered through Jesus Christ, who conquers sin and death.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/d/david.htm">David</a></b><br>The author of this psalm, David was the second king of Israel, known for his heart for God and his military victories. He often attributed his successes to God's intervention and protection.<br><br>2. <b><a href="/topical/k/kings.htm">Kings</a></b><br>Refers to rulers, specifically those who are anointed by God.
