SCRIPTURE

"For who is God, save Jehovah? And who is a rock, besides our God," — Psalms 18:31 (ASV)

For who is God save the Lord? Who is God except Yahweh? The idea is that no other being has demonstrated the power, the wisdom, and the goodness that properly belong to the true God; or, that the things which are implied in the true nature of God are found in no other being.

Or who is a rock save our God? See Psalm 18:2. There is no one who can provide such safety or defense; no one under whose protection we can be secure in danger. Compare Deuteronomy 32:31.
