It is used to describe the act of trusting in God as a place of safety and protection. This term is frequently employed in the Psalms and other poetic literature to express reliance on God's protection and faithfulness. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Near Eastern cultures, seeking refuge was a common practice during times of danger or distress.
