5. In the same confidence he encourages the godly
9. No trust is to be put in worldly things
11. Power and mercy belong to God














My salvation and my honor rest on God
This phrase emphasizes the psalmist's complete reliance on God for both deliverance and dignity. In the biblical context, salvation often refers to deliverance from enemies or distress, as seen throughout the Psalms. Honor, in ancient Israelite culture, was closely tied to one's reputation and standing within the community. The psalmist acknowledges that both his deliverance and his reputation are secure in God, reflecting a deep trust in God's sovereignty and faithfulness. This reliance on God for salvation is echoed in other scriptures, such as Isaiah 12:2, which speaks of God as the source of salvation.

my strong rock
The imagery of God as a "rock" is a recurring theme in the Psalms and throughout the Old Testament, symbolizing strength, stability, and protection. In the ancient Near Eastern context, rocks and mountains were often seen as places of refuge and safety. This metaphor highlights God's unchanging nature and His ability to provide a firm foundation for those who trust in Him. The concept of God as a rock is also found in Deuteronomy 32:4, where God is described as the Rock whose works are perfect.

my refuge is in God
The idea of God as a refuge conveys a sense of safety and shelter from danger or distress. In the historical context of the Psalms, cities of refuge were designated places where individuals could seek asylum. This metaphor extends to God, portraying Him as a spiritual sanctuary where believers can find peace and protection. The theme of God as a refuge is prevalent in the Psalms, such as in Psalm 46:1, which declares God as a refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble. This assurance of divine protection is a cornerstone of faith, offering comfort and hope to believers.

Teaching Points
God as the Source of Salvation and Honor
Our ultimate deliverance and dignity come from God, not from human achievements or status.

The Stability of God as Our Rock
Just as a rock provides a firm foundation, God offers unshakeable support in times of trouble.

Finding Refuge in God
In moments of fear or uncertainty, we can find safety and peace by turning to God as our refuge.

Trusting in God's Sovereignty
Recognizing God as the source of our salvation and honor encourages us to trust in His sovereign plan for our lives.

Living with Confidence in God's Protection
Knowing that God is our refuge allows us to live boldly and confidently, free from fear of external threats.(7) In God.--Literally, upon God, as in Psalm 7:10.

Verse 7. - In God is my salvation and my glory. The last phrase is new. The psalmist feels that the God who saves him, at the same time sheds on him glory and honour. The Rock of my strength, and my Refuge, is in God (comp. Psalm 9:9; Psalm 57:2; Psalm 94:22, etc.).
