“He only is my rock and my salvation; he is my defence; I shall not be greatly moved.”
The affirmation that God is a rock and fortress and that one will not be shaken establishes comprehensive protection against both external threat and internal despair. The rock and fortress imagery suggests both permanence and strength; they cannot be moved or destroyed. The refusal to be greatly shaken indicates a resolve grounded in confidence in God's protection; the psalmist will not yield to fear or despair. This verse provides the theological foundation for the stance of patient waiting articulated in the previous verse.
