The titles applied to God often occur (Psa 9:9; Psa 18:2).
be greatly moved-- (Psa 10:6). No injury shall be permanent, though devised by enemies. |
| Notes on the Bible, by Albert Barnes, [1834] |
He only is my rock ... - See the notes at Psa 18:2.
I shall not be greatly moved - The word greatly here, or much - "I shall not be much moved," implies that he did not anticipate perfect security from danger or calamity; he did not suppose that he would escape all disaster or trouble, but he felt that no great evil would befall him, that his most important interests were safe, and that he would be ultimately secure. He would be restored to his home and his throne, and would be favored with future peace and tranquility. None of us can hope wholly to escape calamity in this life. It is enough if we can be assured that our great interests will be ultimately secured; that we shall be safe at last in the heavenly world. Having that confidence the soul may be, and should be, calm; and we need little apprehend what will occur in this world. |
| Adam Clarke Commentary on the Whole Bible - Published 1810-1826 |
| I shall not be greatly moved - Having God for my rock - strong fortified place, for my salvation - continual safety, and my defense - my elevated tower, which places me out of the reach of my enemies; I shall not be greatly moved - I may be shaken, but cannot be cast down. |
6 He hath said in his heart, I shall not be moved: for I shall never be in adversity.

9 The LORD also will be a refuge for the oppressed, a refuge in times of trouble.
2 The LORD is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer; my God, my strength, in whom I will trust; my buckler, and the horn of my salvation, and my high tower.
