God: Your Personal Refuge

Commentators emphasize the personal nature of the phrase "You are MY hiding place." It's not just a generic shelter, but a specific, relational refuge in God, particularly from the guilt and consequences of sin. As several scholars note, this is an active state; the believer must "run to" this hiding place. For Christians, this finds its ultimate expression in Jesus Christ, who is both Judge and refuge.
