Exegesis
A paratactic series—maginni {מָגִנִּי | mā-gin-nî} ‘my shield,’ vekeren yish‘i {וְקֶרֶן יִשְׁעִי | wə-qe-ren yiš-‘î} ‘horn of my salvation,’ misgabi {מִשְׂגַּבִּי | mis-gabbî} ‘my stronghold,’ umenusi {וּמְנוּסִי | u-me-nû-sî} ‘my refuge,’ and moshi‘i {מֹשִׁעִי | mō-šî-ʿî} ‘my savior’—builds a crescendo of metaphors.
In context — 2 Samuel 22:3
My God is my rock; in Him I take refuge. He is my shield and the horn of my salvation , my stronghold, my refuge, and my savior—You save me from violence.
