Contextual Overview

¹²Blessed [with wisdom and prosperity] is the man whom You discipline and instruct, O LORD, And whom You teach from Your law, ¹³That You may grant him [power to calm himself and find] peace in the days of adversity, Until the pit is dug for the wicked and ungodly. ¹⁴For the LORD will not abandon His people, Nor will He abandon His inheritance. ¹⁵For judgment will again be righteous, And all the upright in heart will follow it. ¹⁶Who will stand up for me against the evildoers? Who will take a stand for me against those who do wickedness? ¹⁷If the LORD had not been my help, I would soon have dwelt in [the land of] silence. ¹⁸If I say, "My foot has slipped," Your compassion and lovingkindness, O LORD, will hold me up. ¹⁹When my anxious thoughts multiply within me, Your comforts delight me. ²⁰Can a throne of destruction be allied with You, One which frames and devises mischief by decree [under the sacred name of law]? ²¹They band themselves together against the life of the righteous And condemn the innocent to death.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

But the Lord is my defence,.... 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.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

But the Lord is my defense ... - In all these purposes of the wicked; in all that they do - whether under the form and sanction of law Psalms 94:20, or by the excitement of passion - my trust is still in God. He is able to interpose in either case, and I may confidently commit my cause to him. On the language used here, as well as the sentiment, see the notes at Psalms 18:2.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Psalms 94:22. The rock of my refuge. — Alluding to those natural fortifications among rocks, which are frequent in the land of Judea.
