Psalms 94:22 Meaning and Commentary

Psalms 94:22

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.
