By Your favour
Our security is in the favour of God alone!
Mountain is symbolic of God's favour
"He speaks of himself as having, through the favor of God, put himself
into a strong position - a position where he feared no enemy and no
change; where he thought himself entirely secure - the state of
"prosperity" to which he had referred in the previous verse. In that
state, however, God showed him that there was no real security but in
his favor: security not in what a man can draw around himself, but in
the favor of God alone."
