and is safe
to be set in a high or elevated place, particularly in a manner that confers protection, inaccessibility, or security; by extension, to be exalted or considered lofty, whether physically (elevated structures or persons) or figuratively (in moral, social, or spiritual sense). The word can denote making something inaccessible for safety, referring to securing someone or something in a location that is difficult to approach. In certain contexts, it carries the idea of being 'lifted above' in terms of honor, status, or power.
