Contextual Overview

¹² (93-12) Blessed is the man whom thou shalt instruct, O Lord: and shalt teach him out of thy law. ¹³ (93-13) That thou mayst give him rest from the evil days: till a pit be dug for the wicked. ¹⁴ (93-14) For the Lord will not cast off his people: neither will he forsake his own inheritance. ¹⁵ (93-15) Until justice be turned into judgment: and they that are near it are all the upright in heart. ¹⁶ (93-16) Who shall rise up for me against the evildoers? or who shall stand with me against the workers of iniquity? ¹⁷ (93-17) Unless the Lord had been my helper, my soul had almost dwelt in hell. ¹⁸ (93-18) If I said: My foot is moved: thy mercy, O Lord, assisted me. ¹⁹ (93-19) According to the multitude of my sorrows in my heart, thy comforts have given joy to my soul. ²⁰ (93-20) Doth the seat of iniquity stick to thee, who framest labour in commandment? ²¹ (93-21) They will hunt after the soul of the just, and will condemn innocent blood.

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.
