- O Lord, I have come to you for protection;
don’t let me be disgraced.
Save me, for you do what is right. - For you are my hiding place;
you protect me from trouble.
You surround me with songs of victory. - God is our refuge and strength,
always ready to help in times of trouble. - So be strong and courageous! Do not be afraid and do not panic before them. For the Lord your God will personally go ahead of you. He will neither fail you nor abandon you.
- But in that coming day
no weapon turned against you will succeed.
You will silence every voice
raised up to accuse you.
These benefits are enjoyed by the servants of the Lord;
their vindication will come from me.
I, the Lord, have spoken! - So we can say with confidence,
“The Lord is my helper,
so I will have no fear.
What can mere people do to me?” - You have given me your shield of victory.
Your right hand supports me;
your help has made me great.
You have made a wide path for my feet
to keep them from slipping. - Keep me safe, O God,
for I have come to you for refuge. - The Lord himself will fight for you. Just stay calm.
- The Lord is for me, so I will have no fear.
What can mere people do to me? - You are my refuge and my shield;
your word is my source of hope. - For I can do everything through Christ, who gives me strength.
- I will be your God throughout your lifetime—
until your hair is white with age.
I made you, and I will care for you.
I will carry you along and save you. - But as for me, I will sing about your power.
Each morning I will sing with joy about your unfailing love.
For you have been my refuge,
a place of safety when I am in distress. - Guard your heart above all else,
for it determines the course of your life. - What shall we say about such wonderful things as these? If God is for us, who can ever be against us?
- 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. - But you, O Lord, are a shield around me;
you are my glory, the one who holds my head high. - I know the Lord is always with me.
I will not be shaken, for he is right beside me. - Don’t you realize that I could ask my Father for thousands of angels to protect us, and he would send them instantly?
It is better to take refuge in the Lord
than to trust in people.The eyes of the Lord watch over those who do right;
his ears are open to their cries for help.
