God IS Our Salvation
The verse opens with "Behold," which commentators describe as a confident declaration of an experienced reality. The phrase "God is my salvation" means God Himself is the direct author and source of our deliverance, not any human effort. Scholars like Gill and Henry see this as pointing directly to Jesus Christ, whose salvation encompasses the highest spiritual blessings.
