From the Scholars: Barnes' Notes

The Lord is good: a stronghold in the day of trouble - “Good and doing good,” and full of sweetness; alike good and mighty; good in giving Himself and imparting His goodness to His own; yea “none is good, save God”Luke 18:19; Himself the stronghold wherein His own amy take refuge; both in the troubles of this life, in which “He will not suffer us to be tempted above that we are able”1 Corinthians 10:13, and in that Day, which shall hem them in on every side, and leave no place of escape except Himself. And He knoweth them that tuust in Him -So as to save them; as Rahab was saved when Jericho perished, and Lot out of the midst of the overthrow and Hezekiah from the host of Sennacherib.
