“But his bow abode in strength, and the arms of his hands were made strong by the hands of the mighty God of Jacob; (from thence is the shepherd, the stone of Israel:)”
But his bow remained steady, his strong arms stayed limber, because of the hand of the Mighty One of Jacob, because of the Shepherd, the Rock of Israel. The steadiness of the bow in the midst of attack is attributed to the Mighty One of Jacob, the Shepherd, the Rock of Israel. The application: the covenant person's steadiness under attack is not their own resilience but the strength of the God who holds them. The three names — Mighty One, Shepherd, Rock — are three aspects of the covenant protector.
