In ancient Near Eastern culture, rocks and mountains were often seen as places of refuge and safety, which aligns with the psalmist's depiction of God.

This concept is echoed in other scriptures such as Psalm 18:2 and Isaiah 26:4, where God is similarly described as a rock and a source of salvation.
