Psalms144:2
My fortress. David calls God by names connected with the chief deliverances of his life. The psalms abound in local references and descriptive expressions, e.g. Ps 18:2 (and in this place). The word translated "fortress" is metzuriah or masada. From 1Sa 23:29, I have no doubt that he is speaking of Masada, an isolated peak 1,500 feet high, on which was a stronghold. —James Wareing Bardsley, in "Glimpses through the Veil," 1883.
