What Does Psalms 18:46 Mean?
'The LORD liveth'—God is real, active, present. Not an abstract principle but a living being who acts in history. This exclamation reclaims the entire psalm: every victory was God's work.
'Blessed be my rock'—returns to the metaphor of verse 2 with full affirmation. 'Let the God of my salvation be exalted'—the doxology that should crown the psalm. All honor goes to God, not to the psalmist. The psalmist's role was to trust and obey; God provided victory.
