(Psa 18:2 KJV) 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.
(Proverbs 24 also read)
David is waxing strong on his figures of speech. I hope you realize that you’re not supposed to take everything here literally. David is expressing the joy in the glory of God that he’s feeling and trying to come up with a way to convey that to you. What would you come up with today? 401k? Shields up? Iron dome?
The actual figure of speech is not important. What is key is to realize the glory of God, the power of God, the love of God, the holiest of God. All of these are beyond our comprehension and yet we can grasp them enough to sense how awesome they are.
So? Spend some time, perhaps meditating on the biblical pictures, trying to describe God and then spend some time looking for your own metaphor and similes.
