But the LORD is my defense; and my God is the rock of my refuge.
But the LORD is my defense; and my God is the rock of my refuge.
But Jehovah hath been my high tower, And my God the rock of my refuge.
But the Lord is my safe resting-place; my God is the Rock where I am safe.
But the LORD is my defense; and my God is the rock of my refuge.
But Yahweh has been my high tower, my God, the rock of my refuge.
But the LORD hath been my high tower; and my God the rock of my refuge.
The rock of my refuge - Alluding to those natural fortifications among rocks, which are frequent in the land of Judea.
But the Lord is my defense ... - In all these purposes of the wicked; in all that they do - whether under the form and sanction of law Psalm 94:20, or by the excitement of passion - my trust is still in God. He is able to interpose in either case, and I may confidently commit my cause to him. On the language used here, as well as the sentiment, see the notes at Psalm 18:2.
