for from it flow the wellsprings of life. - However, the Lord is faithful. He will strengthen you and protect you from the evil one.
- For he guards the paths of justice
and keeps watch over the way of his faithful ones. - He who guards his mouth makes his life secure,
but one who talks excessively ensures his own downfall. - Do not worry about anything, but present your needs to God in prayer and petition, with thanksgiving. Then the peace of God, which is beyond all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
- If the Lord does not build the house,
those who construct it labor in vain.
If the Lord does not guard the city,
those who keep watch over it do so in vain. - Be on your guard that you do not lose what we have worked to accomplish so that you will receive your reward in full.
- Be on guard against false prophets who come to you disguised in sheep’s clothing, but who inwardly are ravenous wolves.

- Dear children,
keep away from idols. - So we must not fall asleep as the others do, but we must stay alert and sober.
- He will not permit your foot to stumble;
he who guards you will not fall asleep. - The upright are guarded by their integrity;
the treacherous are destroyed by their own duplicity. - How can a young man lead a spotless life?
By living according to your word. - The Lord will protect you against all evil;
he will watch over your life.
The Lord will watch over your coming and your going
both now and forevermore. - Let those who love the Lord hate evil,
for he protects the souls of his faithful ones
and rescues them from the hand of the wicked.
The way of God is blameless,
and the Lord’s promise proves true;
he is a shield to all
who flee to him for safety. Ah, Lord God, you made the heavens and the earth by your great power and your outstretched arm. Nothing is impossible for you.Next verse!With image
