Commentaries:
Adam Clarke
None holy - Holiness is peculiar to the God of Israel; no false god ever pretended to holiness; it was no attribute of heathenism, nor of any religion ever professed in the world before or since the true revelation of the true God.
There is none beside thee - There can be but one unoriginated, infinite, and eternal Being; that Being is Jehovah.
Any rock like our God - Rabbi Maimon has observed that the word tsur , which we translate rock, signifies, when applied to Jehovah, fountain, source, spring. There is no source whence continual help and salvation can arise but our God.
