# He alone is my rock and my salvation; he is my high tower
The writer speaks of God as if he were a rock and a high tower. Both of these metaphors show how God provides protection from one's enemies. Here "salvation" means that God rescues the writer. See how you translated this in [Psalms 62:2](./002.md). (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor]])
