Psalm 144:2
“My goodness, and my fortress; my high tower, and my deliverer; my shield, and he in whom I trust; who subdueth my people under me.”
KJV
Read in Psalm 144Meaning
The piling up of refuge metaphors centers security in God within a royal setting.
Read carefully
Its royal language belongs to the psalm's ancient setting and does not create a modern mandate for coercion or supremacy.
Reflection
Seek security without turning power into domination.
