People who search bible verses about high tower want Scripture on God as misgab — the lofty secure place — not only the strong tower migdal confession or the fortress inventory alone. This page is a numbered list of twelve passages with the NIV text and a short note on each. Related lists: Bible verses about the Rock, Bible verses about strength, Bible verses about protection, Bible verses about hope, Bible verses about faith, Bible verses about refuge, and Bible verse of the day. High tower here means misgab / lofty-secure-place confession — distinct from migdal-strong-tower alone or fortress alone.

Word study (lead theme). In Hebrew, high tower / stronghold is often מִשְׂגָּב misgab (Strong's H4869; Bible Hub H4869) — a high place, refuge, or secure height. Psalm 18:2 stacks rock, fortress, deliverer, and misgab stronghold; Psalm 9:9 and Psalm 59:9 keep the same lofty-secure vocabulary. This list tracks misgab — not the whole migdal strong-tower page and not the fortress catalog alone.

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on Psalm 18 presses that David piles names for God as defender — rock, fortress, deliverer, stronghold — and that praise answers rescue (Bible Hub MHC Psalms 18; Blue Letter Bible, Matthew Henry on Psalm 18). (Strong-tower and fortress lists live on those pages; this list centers high tower / misgab.)
