God, the 'Rock of Ages'
Commentators highlight that the phrase "everlasting strength" is more poetically translated from Hebrew as "the Rock of ages." This powerful image, familiar from the hymn, portrays God as an eternally firm, unchangeable, and protective refuge. Just as a massive rock is immovable and provides shelter, God's strength is a constant and reliable foundation for our trust through all of life's storms.
