Verse 47 is found in chapter 22 of 2 Samuel. The poem concludes by celebrating that God equips David for battle, gives him strength, subdues his enemies, and establishes his greatness. Victory does not end in personal exaltation: David blesses the Lord and recognizes that God shows steadfast love to his anointed and his descendants. The reference to descendants connects the song with the promise of 2 Samuel 7. The poem functions as a theological interpretation of the reign: God is the ultimate source of victory and Davidic continuity.

Vive l'Eternel, et béni soit mon rocher! Que Dieu, le rocher de mon salut, soit exalté,
Viva il Signore, e benedetta sia la mia Rocca; E sia esaltato Iddio, ch’è la Rocca della mia salvezza.
Vive o SENHOR, e bendito seja o meu rochedo; e exaltado seja Deus, a rocha da minha salvação,
耶和華永遠活著。 願我的磐石被稱頌, 願上帝-救我的磐石受尊崇。
