He shall cry unto me, Thou art my father, my God, and the rock of my salvation.
The ruler held out in promise addresses God as his own Father, as his God, and as the solid rock in whom his deliverance stands secure. His cry is one of personal sonship and trust, acknowledging divine fatherhood, divine lordship, and unfailing saving strength. The pledge given to David and to his house reaches far beyond his own lifetime and stretches forward into the eternal ages. That pledge meets its full and complete realization in Christ, in whom the house of David endures forever.
