- Preserve me, O God, for in you I take refuge.
- I do not ask that you take them out of the world, but that you keep them from the evil one.
- But the Lord is faithful. He will establish you and guard you against the evil one.
- You are a hiding place for me;
you preserve me from trouble;
you surround me with shouts of deliverance. Selah - As for you, O Lord, you will not restrain your mercy from me;
your steadfast love and your faithfulness will ever preserve me! - The Lord is on my side; I will not fear.
What can man do to me? - But you, O Lord, are a shield about me,
my glory, and the lifter of my head. - Seek the Lord, all you humble of the land,
who do his just commands;
seek righteousness; seek humility;
perhaps you may be hidden
on the day of the anger of the Lord. - Do you think that I cannot appeal to my Father, and he will at once send me more than twelve legions of angels?
- You shall serve the Lord your God, and he will bless your bread and your water, and I will take sickness away from among you.
- Even though I walk
through the valley of the shadow of death,
I will fear no evil,
for you are with me;
your rod and your staff,
they comfort me. - Guarding the paths of justice
and watching over the way of his saints. - The Lord bless you and keep you;
the Lord make his face to shine upon you and be gracious to you;
the Lord lift up his countenance upon you and give you peace. - The Lord will keep you from all evil;
he will keep your life.
The Lord will keep
your going out and your coming in
from this time forth and forevermore. - Sing to God, sing praises to his name;
lift up a song to him who rides through the deserts;
his name is the Lord;
exult before him!
Father of the fatherless and protector of widows
is God in his holy habitation. - He will cover you with his pinions,
and under his wings you will find refuge;
his faithfulness is a shield and buckler. - Because I delivered the poor who cried for help,
and the fatherless who had none to help him.
The blessing of him who was about to perish came upon me,
and I caused the widow's heart to sing for joy. - O you who love the Lord, hate evil!
He preserves the lives of his saints;
he delivers them from the hand of the wicked. - Every word of God proves true;
he is a shield to those who take refuge in him. - In you, O Lord, do I take refuge;
let me never be put to shame;
in your righteousness deliver me! - This God—his way is perfect;
the word of the Lord proves true;
he is a shield for all those who take refuge in him. - This God—his way is perfect;
the word of the Lord proves true;
he is a shield for all those who take refuge in him. - The Lord is good,
a stronghold in the day of trouble;
he knows those who take refuge in him. - The Lord is my light and my salvation;
whom shall I fear?
The Lord is the stronghold of my life;
of whom shall I be afraid? - The Lord watches over the sojourners;
he upholds the widow and the fatherless,
but the way of the wicked he brings to ruin.
Oh, how abundant is your goodness,
which you have stored up for those who fear you
and worked for those who take refuge in you,
in the sight of the children of mankind!With all humility and gentleness, with patience, bearing with one another in love. Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.Next verse!With image
