to keep them from slipping. - O Lord, I have come to you for protection;
don’t let me be disgraced.
Save me, for you do what is right. - As for me, I look to the Lord for help.

if you save me, I will be truly saved.
My praises are for you alone! - My future is in your hands.

for I have come to you for refuge. - Lord, don’t hold back your tender mercies from me.
Let your unfailing love and faithfulness always protect me. - You are my rock and my fortress.
For the honor of your name, lead me out of this danger. - In those days when you pray, I will listen.

I have all that I need.

Wash me clean from my guilt.
Purify me from my sin. - Then he said to them, “Anyone who welcomes a little child like this on my behalf welcomes me, and anyone who welcomes me also welcomes my Father who sent me. Whoever is the least among you is the greatest.”

my heart will not be afraid.

for he has anointed me to bring Good News to the poor.

through the darkest valley,
I will not be afraid,
for you are close beside me.
Your rod and your staff
