Refuge and Portion

Jehovah — the premortal Jesus Christ, the covenant God of Israel

When no one cared for his soul, David found Jehovah, the premortal Christ, to be his refuge and portion.

Deliverer of captives

Bring my soul out of prison, that I may praise thy name: the righteous shall compass me about; for thou shalt deal bountifully with me. Psalms 142:7

David pleads to be freed from confinement. The plea echoes the Messiah's mission to open prisons and free captive souls.
