1 Samuel 2:2
Douay-Rheims
There is none holy as the Lord is: for there is no other beside thee, and there is none strong like our God.
George Leo Haydock
Holy. This is frequently a title of God, the holy one of Israel, Isaias i. 4., and v. 19. He is essentially holy. — Strong. Hebrew, “no rock like,” &c. The rocks of Palestine were the common fortresses of the nation, having caverns to which the people fled for refuge. Hence God is often called a rock, (Calmet) as none can afford such protection. (Haydock) (Psalm xvii. 2., and Deuteronomy xxxii. 15.)
