John Gill's Exposition
John Gill (1697–1771) · Exposition of the Old and New Testament · 18th-century historical commentary
“But the Lord is my defence, etc.] The defence of his church and people, of all the righteous, against those great armies of their enemies that gather together against them: the Targum, in the king’s Bible is, ''the Word of the Lord shall be my weapon:” and my God is the rock of my refuge; to whom recourse is had for shelter from the enemy, and against which the gates of hell cannot prevail: both characters, rock and refuge, agree with Christ, the essential Word of the Lord.”
