A Parallel Psalm of Praise

Commentators like John Gill note that this song of David is nearly identical to Psalm 18. Specifically, 2 Samuel 22:44 corresponds to Psalm 18:43. This parallel highlights the significance of David's praise, showing God's deliverance from both internal conflict ('strivings of my people') and His exaltation of David over other nations.
