- Preserve me, God, for I take refuge in you.
- I pray not that you would take them from the world, but that you would keep them from the evil one.
- But the Lord is faithful, who will establish you and guard you from the evil one.
- You are my hiding place.
You will preserve me from trouble.
You will surround me with songs of deliverance. Selah. - Don’t withhold your tender mercies from me, Yahweh.
Let your loving kindness and your truth continually preserve me. - Yahweh is on my side. I will not be afraid.
What can man do to me? - But you, Yahweh, are a shield around me,
my glory, and the one who lifts up my head. - Seek Yahweh, all you humble of the land, who have kept his ordinances. Seek righteousness. Seek humility. It may be that you will be hidden in the day of Yahweh’s anger.
- Or do you think that I couldn’t ask my Father, and he would even now send me more than twelve legions of angels?
- You shall serve Yahweh 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. - That he may guard the paths of justice,
and preserve the way of his saints. - Yahweh bless you, and keep you.
Yahweh make his face to shine on you,
and be gracious to you.
Yahweh lift up his face toward you,
and give you peace. - Yahweh will keep you from all evil.
He will keep your soul.
Yahweh will keep your going out and your coming in,
from this time forward, and forever more. - He will cover you with his feathers.
Under his wings you will take refuge.
His faithfulness is your shield and rampart. - Because I delivered the poor who cried,
and the fatherless also, who had no one to help him,
the blessing of him who was ready to perish came on me,
and I caused the widow’s heart to sing for joy. - You who love Yahweh, hate evil!
He preserves the souls of his saints.
He delivers them out of the hand of the wicked. - Every word of God is flawless.
He is a shield to those who take refuge in him. - In you, Yahweh, I take refuge.
Let me never be disappointed.
Deliver me in your righteousness. - Sing to God! Sing praises to his name!
Extol him who rides on the clouds:
to Yah, his name!
Rejoice before him!
A father of the fatherless, and a defender of the widows,
is God in his holy habitation. - As for God, his way is perfect.
Yahweh’s word is tried.
He is a shield to all those who take refuge in him. - As for God, his way is perfect.
Yahweh’s word is tested.
He is a shield to all those who take refuge in him. - Yahweh is good, a stronghold in the day of trouble; and he knows those who take refuge in him.
- Yahweh is my light and my salvation.
Whom shall I fear?
Yahweh is the strength of my life.
Of whom shall I be afraid? - Yahweh preserves the foreigners.
He upholds the fatherless and widow,
but he turns the way of the wicked upside down.
Oh how great is your goodness,
which you have laid up for those who fear you,
which you have worked for those who take refuge in you,
before the sons of men!May Yahweh our God be with us as he was with our fathers. Let him not leave us or forsake us. For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there I am in the middle of them.Next verse!With image
