A Song Found in Psalms

Scholars note that this song of praise is almost identical to Psalm 18. For this verse, a minor textual difference exists: 2 Samuel says God 'was seen upon the wings of the wind,' while Psalm 18:10 says He 'did fly.' This highlights the close relationship between these two chapters and the poetic nature of David's praise for God's swift deliverance.
