Commentators agree that the "strong city" is not a place with physical fortifications, but rather the people of God—the Church. Its strength comes directly from God's presence. The verse poetically states that God appoints "salvation for walls and bulwarks," meaning our ultimate security and protection are found in His saving power, which is far stronger than any earthly defense.
