God as Our Only Rock
Commentators explain that David's cry, "My rock," is a declaration of total and exclusive reliance on God. In overwhelming distress, when he felt on the verge of death, he didn't despair or complain aimlessly but turned solely to God as his only source of strength and stability. This models a faith that depends entirely on God, especially when human help fails.
