- For you are my hiding place;
you protect me from trouble.
You surround me with songs of victory. - Lord, don’t hold back your tender mercies from me.
Let your unfailing love and faithfulness always protect me. - Seek the Lord, all who are humble,
and follow his commands.
Seek to do what is right
and to live humbly.
Perhaps even yet the Lord will protect you—
protect you from his anger on that day of destruction. - Keep me safe, O God,
for I have come to you for refuge. - Don’t you realize that I could ask my Father for thousands of angels to protect us, and he would send them instantly?
- You must serve only the Lord your God. If you do, I will bless you with food and water, and I will protect you from illness.
- Even when I walk
through the darkest valley,
I will not be afraid,
for you are close beside me.
Your rod and your staff
protect and comfort me. - I’m not asking you to take them out of the world, but to keep them safe from the evil one.
- May the Lord bless you
and protect you.
May the Lord smile on you
and be gracious to you.
May the Lord show you his favor
and give you his peace. - But the Lord is faithful; he will strengthen you and guard you from the evil one.
- Every word of God proves true.
He is a shield to all who come to him for protection. - The Lord is for me, so I will have no fear.
What can mere people do to me? - He guards the paths of the just
and protects those who are faithful to him. - O Lord, I have come to you for protection;
don’t let me be disgraced.
Save me, for you do what is right. - God’s way is perfect.
All the Lord’s promises prove true.
He is a shield for all who look to him for protection. - But you, O Lord, are a shield around me;
you are my glory, the one who holds my head high. - God’s way is perfect.
All the Lord’s promises prove true.
He is a shield for all who look to him for protection. - He will cover you with his feathers.
He will shelter you with his wings.
His faithful promises are your armor and protection. - The Lord is my light and my salvation—
so why should I be afraid?
The Lord is my fortress, protecting me from danger,
so why should I tremble? - The Lord protects the foreigners among us.
He cares for the orphans and widows,
but he frustrates the plans of the wicked. - You who love the Lord, hate evil!
He protects the lives of his godly people
and rescues them from the power of the wicked. - How great is the goodness
you have stored up for those who fear you.
You lavish it on those who come to you for protection,
blessing them before the watching world. - Unless the Lord builds a house,
the work of the builders is wasted.
Unless the Lord protects a city,
guarding it with sentries will do no good. - The Lord keeps you from all harm
and watches over your life.
The Lord keeps watch over you as you come and go,
both now and forever. - I love you, Lord;
you are my strength.
The Lord is my rock, my fortress, and my savior;
my God is my rock, in whom I find protection.
He is my shield, the power that saves me,
and my place of safety.
For I assisted the poor in their need
and the orphans who required help.
I helped those without hope, and they blessed me.
And I caused the widows’ hearts to sing for joy.All of this occurred to fulfill the Lord’s message through his prophet:
“Look! The virgin will conceive a child!
She will give birth to a son,
and they will call him Immanuel,
which means ‘God is with us.’”
