God's Protective Shadow
Commentators universally highlight the verse's powerful metaphor. The rage and oppression of God's enemies are compared to the scorching, unbearable heat of the sun in a dry land. God's intervention on behalf of His people is like the welcome shadow of a cloud, providing immediate relief and neutralizing the threat. This illustrates God's power to shelter His people from even the most intense hostility.
