God Alone is Our Rock

Commentators emphasize the word "only." David's confidence isn't in his own strength or in other people, but exclusively in God. As Matthew Henry notes, "creatures are nothing without him." This verse calls us to look beyond worldly supports and find our ultimate security, salvation, and refuge in God alone.
