SCRIPTURE

"With God is my salvation and my glory: The rock of my strength, and my refuge, is in God." — Psalms 62:7 (ASV)

In God is my salvation - See (Psalms 62:1). That is, his salvation, his safety, his anticipated deliverance, was to come only from God.

And my glory - That in which I glory or boast; the source of all in me that is glorious or honorable. He gloried that there was such a God; he gloried that He was his God.

The rock of my strength - The strong rock; the refuge that cannot be successfully assailed; where I shall feel strong and secure. See the notes at (Psalms 18:2).

My refuge - That to which I may flee for safety. See the notes at (Psalms 46:1).
