The 'Because' of Protection
Commentators emphasize that this verse provides the reason for the promises of safety that follow. God's protection isn't arbitrary; it is specifically for the one who has actively chosen to make Him their refuge. As scholars like Charles Spurgeon and John Calvin note, the security described in the psalm is a direct consequence of this foundational act of trust.
