He brought me forth also into a large place: he delivered me, because he delighted in me.

Verse 20 is found in chapter 22 of 2 Samuel. The poetry describes divine intervention through images of earthquake, smoke, fire, darkness, and heavenly descent. These images should not be reduced to a meteorological description; they form poetic theophanic language communicating God’s majesty entering into action. The Lord appears as a sovereign warrior who hears David’s cry and brings him out of deep waters. The king’s deliverance thus becomes a manifestation of divine power.

Und er führte mich aus in das Weite, er riß mich heraus; denn er hatte Lust zu mir.
Sacome a anchura; Librome, porque puso su voluntad en mí.
Me sacó a un lugar espacioso; me rescató porque se agradó de mí.
Il m'a mis au large, Il m'a sauvé, parce qu'il m'aime.
E mi trasse fuori in luogo largo; Egli mi liberò; perciocchè egli mi gradisce.
E tirou-me para um lugar espaçoso, e livrou-me, porque tinha prazer em mim.
他領我到寬闊之處, 他救拔我,因他喜愛我。
