Reading for June 8th

Read 2 Samuel 22.1-7
In 22.1-51: A psalm of praise.
This psalm, which is the same as Psalm 18 was written long after David's time but is inserted here as appropriate to David's sentiments.
In verse 2-3:  the image of the Lord as a protective rock is common in the Bible.
In verse 5-6: perdition is a reference tot he underworld, the abode of the dead, known in the Bible as Sheol.
In verse 7: The mention of the temple is an indication that this psalm was written after David since the Temple was built by Solomon.
