God's Identity is Our Security
Multiple commentators, especially Charles Spurgeon, highlight that the verse begins with the ultimate reason for a believer's security: God's own identity. He is 'Jehovah thy God, the Holy One of Israel, thy Saviour.' This declaration of a covenant relationship is presented as the greatest possible comfort, a firm foundation to fall back on in times of fear or loss.
