From the Scholars: Barnes' Notes

The Lord also will be a refuge -Margin, an high place. The margin expresses the more exact sense of the, Hebrew word -משׂגבmiśgâb. It means properly height, altitude; then a height, rock, crag; and then, as such localities, being inaccessible to an enemy, were sought in times of danger as places of secure retreat, it comes to denote a place of security and refuge,Psalms 18:2;Psalms 46:7,Psalms 46:11;Psalms 48:3;Psalms 59:9,Psalms 59:17;Psalms 94:22. The declaration here is equivalent to what is so often said, that God is a refuge, a rock, a high tower, a defense; meaning, that those referred to might find safety in him. See the notes atPsalms 18:2.
