Psalms 18:2 meaning and explanation

The LORD is my rock, my fortress, and my deliverer. My God is my rock, in whom I take refuge, my shield, and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold.

Psalms 18:2, Berean Standard Bible

Explanation preview

Psalm 18 is a long song of thanksgiving that David sang when the LORD had rescued him from Saul and all his enemies, and verse 2 gathers its opening cry of trust into a cluster of images. A rock is the solid ground a hunted man can stand on; a fortress is a defended height; the horn is a picture of strength, like an animal's raised horn.
