I wonder if the bow you can flee from (v. 4) is connected to the bow in Revelation 6:2?

That would fit. The sign God that has given in this new covenant (speaking in tongues) does lead men away from the spirit of false religion that John saw in Revelation.

When he fought with Aram-naharaim and with Aram-zobah,
and Joab returned and slew of Edom 12,000 in the Valley of Salt.
¶1. O God, you have rejected us. You have broken out against us. You have been angry. Turn back to us!
2. You have made the land quake; you have split it open. Heal its brokenness, for it is trembling!
3. You have made your people to see a hard thing. You have given us wine of trembling to drink.
4. You have given a sign for those who fear you, to which they may flee from the bow. Selah.
5. Save with your right hand, and answer us, that the ones you love may be delivered!
6. God has spoken in His holiness, “I will exult; I will apportion Shechem and mete out the Valley of Succoth.
7. Gilead is mine; Manesseh is mine; and Ephraim is a shelter for my head. Judah is my law-giver.
8. Moab is my washpot; over Edom will I cast my shoe. Let Philistia shout in triumph because of me!”
9. Who will escort me to the entrenched city? Who will lead me to Edom?
10. O God, have you not rejected us? For you will not go out, O God, with our armies.
11. Give us help against our adversary, for salvation through man is vain!
