Psalm 71: 3 (king james version) be thou my strong habitation, whereunto i may continually resort: thou hast given commandment to save me; for thou art my rock and my fortress. name and explain the figure of speech verse 3.

The answer is Metaphor.

 The figure of speech used in the verse 3 of the Psalm 71 is Metaphor, which is the comparison of two things that are not related, in an implicit or hidden way. The psalmist is comparing God to  a solid rock, which is not easily moved ("my rock") and is a refuge for him; he also compares God to a well-protected castle ("my strong habitation and my fortress"), he feels secure and protected.

in macbeth, banquo, who in real life had willing in the murder of king duncan, is portrayed as a loyal subject of the king himself. many analysts believe that shakespeare had done this in order to king james, who supposedly was a direct descendant of banquo himself.

hope this ! : )

there is no passage.
