“He only is my rock and my salvation: he is my defence; I shall not be moved.”
The affirmation that God is the psalmist's rock and fortress, and that one will not be shaken, repeats the earlier declaration, reinforcing it through repetition. The doubled affirmation creates a kind of hammer-blow effect: this truth must be heard and internalized despite all opposition. The emphasis on not being shaken establishes that internal stability derives from divine foundation, not from external circumstances. This verse closes the section of petition with a final reinforcement of the fundamental truth of the psalm.
