With God is my salvation and my honor. The rock of my strength, and my refuge, is in God.

God is Everything You Need

Commentators like John Calvin note that David intentionally piles up descriptions of God—'salvation,' 'glory,' 'rock,' 'refuge.' This repetition serves as a powerful argument against our human tendency to seek security in other things. David declares that God alone is the all-sufficient source of deliverance, honor, strength, and safety, leaving no room for reliance on anything or anyone else.
