Context: • The concept of הַצָּלָה is deeply rooted in the biblical narrative, where God is frequently depicted as the ultimate deliverer of His people. This term encapsulates the idea of salvation from peril, whether it be from enemies, natural disasters, or spiritual bondage.
• In the Old Testament, the theme of rescue is prevalent, with God delivering the Israelites from Egyptian slavery, as well as from various oppressors during the period of the Judges and the monarchy. The Psalms often reflect a personal cry for הַצָּלָה, as the psalmists seek God's intervention in their distress.

• The Berean Standard Bible reflects this theme in various passages, emphasizing God's role as a rescuer. For example, in Psalm 18:17, the psalmist declares, "He rescued me from my powerful enemy and from foes too mighty for me."
