What does it mean that God is our 'rock' and 'defense'?

Answered in 1 source

God as our 'rock' signifies stability and security, while 'defense' indicates He protects and advocates for us.

In Psalm 62, when it is stated that 'He only is my rock and my defense,' it conveys the assurance that God provides unwavering stability in a believer's life. A 'rock' implies a solid foundation upon which one’s faith stands, while 'defense' indicates that God protects and defends against spiritual and worldly adversities. The believer finds refuge in God, who acts as both a rock offering support in trials and a defense standing guard against any threats. This metaphor captures the essence of God being a faithful protector and a reliable source of strength for His people.
