Bible Verses About the Rock of My Salvation: 12

"The LORD lives! Praise be to my Rock! Exalted be God my Savior!"

— 2 Samuel 22:47 (NIV)

People who search bible verses about the rock of my salvation want Scripture on 2 Samuel 22:47 and Psalm 89:26's tsur yeshuati — the LORD named as the rock of my salvation — not only the rock that is higher than I height confession, the rock of Israel title alone, or the salvation gift inventory alone. This page is a numbered list of twelve passages with the NIV text and a short note on each. Related lists: Bible verses about the rock that is higher than I, Bible verses about the rock of Israel, Bible verses about salvation, Bible verses about refuge, Bible verses about fortress, Bible verses about hope, Bible verses about faith, Bible verses about God's love, Bible verses about Jesus, Bible verses about Christ, Bible verses about worship, and Bible verse of the day. Rock of my salvation here means the personal confession that God himself is the rock who saves — distinct from rock-as-height or rock-of-Israel lists alone.

Word study (lead theme). In Hebrew, צוּר tsur (Strong's H6697; Bible Hub H6697) means rock / cliff / boulder, and יְשׁוּעָה yeshuah (Strong's H3444; Bible Hub H3444) means salvation / deliverance (related יֵשַׁע yesha, Strong's H3468; Bible Hub H3468). 2 Samuel 22:47 and Psalm 89:26 join rock and salvation — the rock of my salvation (KJV) / God my Savior (NIV). This list tracks that rock-of-my-salvation confession and related "rock of our salvation / God of my salvation / rock… Savior" language centered on the LORD as the saving rock, not every rock-metaphor or salvation-gift verse alone.

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on 2 Samuel 22 presses that David blesses the living LORD as his Rock and the God of his salvation (Bible Hub MHC 2 Samuel 22; Blue Letter Bible, Matthew Henry on 2 Samuel 22). (Rock-that-is-higher and rock-of-Israel live on their pages; this list centers the rock-of-my-salvation confession.)
