Refuge is to feel sure that you are protected, the poorest countries seek to take refuge in the world powers so that at a given time they protect them if other powers want to invade them.
Psalm 46 Reina-Valera 1960 (RVR1960) God is our refuge and strength To the main musician; of the sons of Korah. Psalm on Alamot.
1 God is our refuge and strength, Our early aid in tribulations.
2 Therefore, we will not fear, even if the earth is removed,
And the mountains are transferred to the heart of the sea;
3 Though they roar and tremble their waters,
And the mountains tremble because of their braveness. Selah
4 Their streams make the city of God glad,
The sanctuary of the dwellings of the Most High.
5 God is in the midst of her; It will not be moved.
God will help her by making the morning clear.
6 The nations roared, the kingdoms quaked;
He gave his voice, the Earth was melted.
7 The LORD of hosts is with us;
Our refuge is the God of Jacob. Selah
8 Come, see the works of the Lord,
Who has laid desolations on the earth.
9 That makes wars stop until the ends of the earth.
Breaking the bow, cut the spear,
And burn the cars in the fire.
10 Be still, and know that I am God;
I will be exalted among the nations; I will be exalted on earth.
11 The LORD of hosts is with us;
Our refuge is the God of Jacob.
