18. For the Lord is our defense. He is our ultimate Defender and Shield. And the Holy One of Israel is our king. Kings are called the shields of nations, and the God of Israel
is both our Ruler and our Defense. Another sense may be that Israel’s defender
and king was of the Lord, belonging to him and sent by him. The title the Holy One of Israel is especially delightful to the renewed heart. God is
holiness itself, the only being who can be called the Holy One. He who
is holy cannot break his promises, or act unjustly concerning his oath and
covenant. Moreover, he is the Holy One of Israel, ours
forever and ever.
