PSALM 104 Place of Refuge

Psalm 104:17-18 Scottish Metric Version
17 Birds of the air upon their boughs
        do chuse their nests to make
     As for the stork,  the fir tree she
        doth for her dwelling take.
18 The lofty mountains for wild goats
         a place of refuge be;
     The conies also to the rocks
         do for their safety flee.

These verses describe the Lord's loving provision
for His own creatures.

In verse 17-18 the creatures;- build their nests,
                                                make their dwelling place
                                                and find refuge and safety.
a fundamental characteristic of the righteous
is that they depend on God, they trust in the Lord.

Psalm 2:12 Blessed are all who take refuge in him.

Psalm 118:8-9  It is better to take refuge in the Lord
                                  than to trust in man
                          It is  better to take refuge in the Lord
                                  than to trust in princes.
