This continues David's last words.

|
|
|
# The God of Israel spoke, the Rock of Israel ... me
|
|
|

Here the "God of Israel" is the same as the "Rock of Israel." The two phrases say essentially the same thing. David compares God to a rock to emphasize his power to protect his people. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-parallelism]] and [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-metaphor]])

# The one who rules righteously over men, who rules in the fear of God
|

These two sentences both say that the king will respect God and do what God wants him to do. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-parallelism]])
