Contextual Overview

¹²Blessed is the man whom You discipline, O Yah,And whom You teach out of Your law; ¹³That You may grant him calm from the days of calamity,Until a pit is dug for the wicked. ¹⁴For Yahweh will not abandon His people,Nor will He forsake His inheritance. ¹⁵For judgment will again be righteous,And all the upright in heart will follow it. ¹⁶Who will arise for me against evildoers?Who will take his stand for me against workers of iniquity? ¹⁷If Yahweh had not been my help,My soul would soon have dwelt in the abode of silence. ¹⁸If I should say, "My foot has stumbled,"Your lovingkindness, O Yahweh, will hold me up. ¹⁹When my anxious thoughts multiply within me,Your consolations delight my soul. ²⁰Can a throne of destruction be allied with You,One which forms trouble by statute? ²¹They band themselves together against the life of the righteousAnd condemn the innocent to death.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

But the Lord is my defence,.... The defence of his church and people, of all the righteous, against those great armies of their enemies that gather together against them: the Targum, in the king's Bible is,

"the Word of the Lord shall be my weapon:''

and my God is the rock of my refuge; to whom recourse is had for shelter from the enemy, and against which the gates of hell cannot prevail: both characters, rock and refuge, agree with Christ, the essential Word of the Lord.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

But the Lord is my defense ... - In all these purposes of the wicked; in all that they do - whether under the form and sanction of law Psalms 94:20, or by the excitement of passion - my trust is still in God. He is able to interpose in either case, and I may confidently commit my cause to him. On the language used here, as well as the sentiment, see the notes at Psalms 18:2.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Psalms 94:22. The rock of my refuge. — Alluding to those natural fortifications among rocks, which are frequent in the land of Judea.
