“It  is better to take refuge in the Lord than to trust in humans. It is better to take refuge in the Lord than to trust in princes.” (Psalms 118:8-9 ESV)

Refuge: shelter or protection from danger, trouble.

His name is a strong tower

“The name of the Lord is a strong tower; the righteous man runs into it and is safe.” (Prov. 18:10 ESV)

He will cover you with His pinions

“He will cover you with his pinions, and under his wings you will find refuge; his faithfulness is a shield and buckler.” (Psalm 91:4 ESV)

God is your hiding place and your shield

“You are my hiding place and my shield; I hope in your word.” (Psalm 119:114 ESV)

He will hide you in His shelter

“For he will hide me in his shelter in the day of trouble; he will conceal me under the cover of his tent; he will lift me high upon a rock.” (Psalm 27:5 ESV)

Therefore…

“Trust in him at all times, O people; pour out your heart before him; God is a refuge for us.” (Psalm 62:8 ESV)

“He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High will abide in the shadow of the Almighty. I will say to the Lord, “My refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust.” (Psalms 91:1-2 ESV)
