Why is the Lord the salvation of Israel?

Jeremiah 3:23 (ESV)

23 Truly the hills are a delusion, the orgies on the mountains. Truly in the LORD our God is the salvation of Israel.

In contrast to the delusion of thinking that the false gods would come to her rescue, the people declare that only the Lord our God is the salvation of Israel. Judah will only truly understand her greatest need when she has seen that only the Lord can save her through the renewal of her covenant with him.1
