God, Not Armies, Is Our Strength
Commentators emphasize that this verse establishes God as the true source of Israel's strength, contrasting His power with human military might. Charles Ellicott connects this to David's confidence against Goliath and the Psalmist's trust in God's name over chariots. The central message is that victory depends on God's presence, not the size or strength of the army.
