Refuge

ref'-uj: A place of resort and safety. The principal words in the Old Testament are machceh (Ps 14:6; Ps 46:1; Ps 62:7; Ps 62:8; Isa 4:6, etc.), and manoc (2 Sam 22:3; Ps 59:16, etc.), both applied chiefly to God as a "refuge" for His people. For the King James Version "refuge" in Deut 33:27, the Revised Version (British and American) has "dwelling-place," and in Ps 9:9, "high tower." Conversely, the Revised Version (British and American) has "refuge" for the King James Version "shelter" in Ps 61:3, and "hope" in Jer 17:17.
