Flee unto thee

My soul makes its boast in the Lord;
The humble and downtrodden will hear it and rejoice.

Then my enemies will turn back in the day when I call;
This I know, that God is for me.

For You have been a shelter and a refuge for me,
A strong tower against the enemy.

I cried out to You, O Lord;
I said, “You are my refuge,
My portion in the land of the living.

The name of the Lord is a strong tower;
The righteous runs to it and is safe and set on high [far above evil].

so that by two unchangeable things [His promise and His oath] in which it is impossible for God to lie, we who have fled [to Him] for refuge would have strong encouragement and indwelling strength to hold tightly to the hope set before us.

General references

Even there Your hand will lead me,
And Your right hand will take hold of me.

Then you will understand righteousness and justice [in every circumstance]
And integrity and every good path.

that the Lord your God may show us the way in which we should walk and the thing that we should do.”
