The Lord Is My Rock and My Fortress
“To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David, the servant of the LORD, who spake unto the LORD the words of this song in the day that the LORD delivered him from the hand of all his enemies, and from the hand of Saul: And he said, I will love thee, O LORD, my strength.”

Commentary on Psalms 18:1
The superscription identifies this as David's song when delivered from enemies and Saul. The Hebrew 'racham' (love) is intense, visceral affection—literally 'love deeply' or 'have compassion.' David's love for Yahweh flows from experienced salvation. This anticipates the greatest commandment to love God with all your heart (Matthew 22:37) and John's teaching that 'we love because He first loved us' (1 John 4:19). Love responds to grace.
