The LORD also will be a refuge for the oppressed, a refuge in times of trouble.
The Lord will be a refuge for the oppressed and a refuge in times of trouble, a place of safety and a strong refuge and stronghold. His protection is joined to His righteous judgment, for He hears the humble, remembers those harmed by violence, and brings the wicked to account. This refuge is connected with knowing God's name, trusting Him, and seeking Him without being forsaken, as the following verse makes plain.
He knows human weakness and temptation. Those who flee to Him for help receive His pity and strength. Those who put their entire trust in Him in trouble and perplexity need not shoulder burdens they do not know how to manage or try to solve every problem, for He is an all-sufficient Guide.
