In the biblical context, salvation often refers to deliverance from enemies or distress, as seen throughout the Psalms. Honor, in ancient Israelite culture, was closely tied to one's reputation and standing within the community. The psalmist acknowledges that both his deliverance and his reputation are secure in God, reflecting a deep trust in God's sovereignty and faithfulness. This reliance on God for salvation is echoed in other scriptures, such as <a href="/isaiah/12-2.htm">Isaiah 12:2</a>, which speaks of God as the source of salvation.<p><b>my strong rock</b><br>The imagery of God as a "rock" is a recurring theme in the Psalms and throughout the Old Testament, symbolizing strength, stability, and protection. In the ancient Near Eastern context, rocks and mountains were often seen as places of refuge and safety. This metaphor highlights God's unchanging nature and His ability to provide a firm foundation for those who trust in Him. The concept of God as a rock is also found in <a href="/deuteronomy/32-4.htm">Deuteronomy 32:4</a>, where God is described as the Rock whose works are perfect.<p><b>my refuge is in God</b><br>The idea of God as a refuge conveys a sense of safety and shelter from danger or distress. In the historical context of the Psalms, cities of refuge were designated places where individuals could seek asylum. This metaphor extends to God, portraying Him as a spiritual sanctuary where believers can find peace and protection. The theme of God as a refuge is prevalent in the Psalms, such as in <a href="/psalms/46.htm">Psalm 46:1</a>, which declares God as a refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble. This assurance of divine protection is a cornerstone of faith, offering comfort and hope to believers.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/d/david.htm">David</a></b><br>Traditionally attributed as the author of <a href="/bsb/psalms/62.htm">Psalm 62</a>, David was the second king of Israel, known for his deep faith and reliance on God amidst trials.<br><br>2. <b><a href="/topical/g/god.htm">God</a></b><br>The central figure in this verse, God is depicted as the source of salvation, honor, and refuge.<br><br>3. <b><a href="/topical/r/rock.htm">Rock</a></b><br>A metaphor used throughout the Psalms to describe God’s strength, stability, and reliability.<div class="vheading2">Teaching Points</div><b><a href="/topical/g/god_as_the_source_of_salvation_and_honor.htm">God as the Source of Salvation and Honor</a></b><br>Our ultimate deliverance and dignity come from God, not from human achievements or status.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/t/the_stability_of_god_as_our_rock.htm">The Stability of God as Our Rock</a></b><br>Just as a rock provides a firm foundation, God offers unshakeable support in times of trouble.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/f/finding_refuge_in_god.htm">Finding Refuge in God</a></b><br>In moments of fear or uncertainty, we can find safety and peace by turning to God as our refuge.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/t/trusting_in_god's_sovereignty.htm">Trusting in God's Sovereignty</a></b><br>Recognizing God as the source of our salvation and honor encourages us to trust in His sovereign plan for our lives.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/l/living_with_confidence_in_god's_protection.htm">Living with Confidence in God's Protection</a></b><br>Knowing that God is our refuge allows us to live boldly and confidently, free from fear of external threats.<div class="vheading2">Lists and Questions</div><a href="/top10/lessons_from_psalm_62.htm">Top 10 Lessons from Psalm 62</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/q/what_is_the_repose_of_the_soul.htm">What is the Repose of the Soul?</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/q/why_is_injustice_present_in_psalm_62.htm">In Psalm 62, why is there still rampant injustice (verses 3, 9–10) if God truly is the believer’s secure refuge?</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/q/why_did_david_face_defeats_if_god_is_refuge.htm">Psalm 31:1 refers to God as a “refuge,” so why do historical records still depict David facing ongoing military defeats? </a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/q/how_does_psalm_62_1-2_address_suffering.htm">In Psalm 62:1-2, how can the promise of complete safety in God be reconciled with the reality of suffering and death among believers?</a><a name="commentary" id="commentary"></a><div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/ellicott/psalms/62.htm">Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers</a></div>(7) <span class= "bld">In God.</span>--Literally, <span class= "ital">upon God, </span>as in <a href="/psalms/7-10.htm" title="My defense is of God, which saves the upright in heart.">Psalm 7:10</a>.<p><div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/pulpit/psalms/62.htm">Pulpit Commentary</a></div><span class="cmt_sub_title">Verse 7.</span> - <span class="cmt_word">In God is my salvation and my glory.</span> The last phrase is new.
