“In God is my salvation and my glory: the rock of my strength, and my refuge, is in God.”
The affirmation that salvation, glory, and a strong rock belong to God and that God is the psalmist's refuge articulates the comprehensive attribution of all good to God. The reference to salvation and glory indicates that the ultimate sources of deliverance and honor are divine, not human. The affirmation that God is the people's refuge indicates that the entire community, not merely individuals, finds safety in God. This verse articulates the corporate dimension of the theology: God is the refuge of the covenant people.
