About This Quote

The Lord is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer; My God, my strength, in whom I will trust; My shield, and the horn of my salvation; my stronghold. "Rock" is a very strong word. I can think of many things that are stronger than this metaphor for protection. This is another one of those metaphors that takes on another meaning when you consider the context in which it is used.

What does it mean to say that God "is your rock"? It means that this figure you are referring to will be there when you need him most. What does it mean to say that you are "my rock"? It means to say that you are holding onto something very important to you. How would you feel if someone took something very important to you? You would be angry at them for taking away what was meant for your protection, right? I think this is a good metaphor for faith in God.
