Study Note

The declaration 'the name of the Lord is a strong tower: the righteous runneth into it, and is safe' is among the most compact and memorable theological metaphors in the wisdom literature. The tower (migdal oz) was the most defensible architectural feature of an ancient city, offering refuge when outer walls were breached — making the divine name the last and most secure refuge available to the righteous. Psalm 61:3 ('you are my refuge, a strong tower against the enemy') and 46:1 ('God is our refuge and strength') develop the same metaphor from the psalmic tradition. The 'name' here signifies the totality of God's revealed character and covenant faithfulness — running to the name means calling upon all that God has shown himself to be in redemptive history.
