- Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.
- You are my hiding place.
You will preserve me from trouble.
You will surround me with songs of deliverance. Selah. - God is our refuge and strength,
a very present help in trouble. - Be strong and courageous. Don’t be afraid or scared of them, for Yahweh your God himself is who goes with you. He will not fail you nor forsake you.
- “No weapon that is formed against you will prevail;
and you will condemn every tongue that rises against you in judgment.
This is the heritage of Yahweh’s servants,
and their righteousness is of me,” says Yahweh. - So that with good courage we say,
“The Lord is my helper. I will not fear.
What can man do to me?” - You have also given me the shield of your salvation.
Your right hand sustains me.
Your gentleness has made me great.
You have enlarged my steps under me,
My feet have not slipped. - Preserve me, God, for I take refuge in you.
- Yahweh will fight for you, and you shall be still.
- Yahweh is on my side. I will not be afraid.
What can man do to me? - You are my hiding place and my shield.
I hope in your word. - I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.
- Even to old age I am he,
and even to gray hairs I will carry you.
I have made, and I will bear.
Yes, I will carry, and will deliver. - As for God, his way is perfect.
Yahweh’s word is tried.
He is a shield to all those who take refuge in him. - He will cover you with his feathers.
Under his wings you will take refuge.
His faithfulness is your shield and rampart. - But I will sing of your strength.
Yes, I will sing aloud of your loving kindness in the morning.
For you have been my high tower,
a refuge in the day of my distress. - Keep your heart with all diligence,
for out of it is the wellspring of life. - What then shall we say about these things? If God is for us, who can be against us?
- But you, Yahweh, are a shield around me,
my glory, and the one who lifts up my head. - I have set Yahweh always before me.
Because he is at my right hand, I shall not be moved. - Or do you think that I couldn’t ask my Father, and he would even now send me more than twelve legions of angels?
- It is better to take refuge in Yahweh,
than to put confidence in man. - Every word of God is flawless.
He is a shield to those who take refuge in him. - Yahweh’s name is a strong tower:
the righteous run to him, and are safe. - For who is God, besides Yahweh?
Who is a rock, besides our God?
Yahweh is good, a stronghold in the day of trouble; and he knows those who take refuge in him.And the Lord will deliver me from every evil work and will preserve me for his heavenly Kingdom. To him be the glory forever and ever. Amen.
