Commentary
For thou hast been a shelter for me,.... Or "refuge" (y), from avenging justice; a hiding place and covert from the storms and tempests of divine wrath; a shadow and a screen from the heat of Satan's fiery darts, and the blast of his terrible temptations,
Isa 25:4
;
and a strong tower from the enemy: from Satan the devouring lion, from furious persecutors, and every other enemy; see
Pro 18:10
; and this experience the psalmist had of protection from the Rock in former times made him desirous of being led to it now.
(y) "asylum", Tigurine version, Vatablus; "perfagium", Cocceius; "refugium", Michaelis.
