Contextual Overview

¹² Joyful are those you discipline, Lord , those you teach with your instructions. ¹³ You give them relief from troubled times until a pit is dug to capture the wicked. ¹⁴ The Lord will not reject his people; he will not abandon his special possession. ¹⁵ Judgment will again be founded on justice, and those with virtuous hearts will pursue it. ¹⁶ Who will protect me from the wicked? Who will stand up for me against evildoers? ¹⁷ Unless the Lord had helped me, I would soon have settled in the silence of the grave. ¹⁸ I cried out, "I am slipping!" but your unfailing love, O Lord , supported me. ¹⁹ When doubts filled my mind, your comfort gave me renewed hope and cheer. ²⁰ Can unjust leaders claim that God is on their side— leaders whose decrees permit injustice? ²¹ They gang up against 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.
