| The name of the Lord is a tower of strength; the upright man runs to it and finds refuge. | The name of the Lord is a strong tower: the righteous runneth into it, and is safe. |
| The fear of others will prove to be a snare, but whoever trusts in the Lord is secure. | The fear of man bringeth a snare: but whoso putteth his trust in the Lord shall be safe. |
|
| O Lord, do not withhold your mercy from me; may your kindness and your truth keep me safe forever. | Withhold not thou thy tender mercies from me, O Lord: let thy lovingkindness and thy truth continually preserve me. |
| In peace I lie down and sleep, for only with your help, O Lord, can I rest secure. | I will both lay me down in peace, and sleep: for thou, Lord, only makest me dwell in safety. |
| Protect me, O God, for in you I take refuge. | Preserve me, O God: for in thee do I put my trust. |
| Therefore, we fasted and prayed to God to grant us a safe journey, and he answered our prayer. | So we fasted and besought our God for this: and he was intreated of us. |
| Put your trust in the Lord and do good, that you may dwell in the land and be secure. | Trust in the Lord, and do good; so shalt thou dwell in the land, and verily thou shalt be fed. |
| The Lord will rescue me from every evil attack and bring me safely into his heavenly kingdom. To him be glory forever and ever. Amen. | And the Lord shall deliver me from every evil work, and will preserve me unto his heavenly kingdom: to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen. |
| Anyone who leads an honorable life walks in safety, but whoever pursues wicked ways will be found out. | He that walketh uprightly walketh surely: but he that perverteth his ways shall be known. |
| Ensure that the path you tread is level, and then your ways will be sure. | Ponder the path of thy feet, and let all thy ways be established. |
| For the Lord loves the just, and he will not forsake his faithful ones. Those who follow evil paths will be destroyed, and the children of the wicked will be cut off. | For the Lord loveth judgment, and forsaketh not his saints; they are preserved for ever: but the seed of the wicked shall be cut off. |
| Because the sentence for committing an evil act is not carried out quickly, people’s hearts are prone to act wickedly. | Because sentence against an evil work is not executed speedily, therefore the heart of the sons of men is fully set in them to do evil. |
| I am not asking you to take them out of the world, but I do ask you to protect them from the evil one. | I pray not that thou shouldest take them out of the world, but that thou shouldest keep them from the evil. |
| 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. | As for God, his way is perfect: the word of the Lord is tried: he is a buckler to all those that trust in him. |
| However, you, dear friends, must build yourselves up in your most holy faith and pray in the Holy Spirit. Keep yourselves in the love of God as you await our Lord Jesus Christ in his mercy, who will grant you eternal life. | But ye, beloved, building up yourselves on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Ghost, Keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life. |
| The wealth of a rich man is his stronghold; he regards it as a high wall that cannot be scaled. | The rich man's wealth is his strong city, and as an high wall in his own conceit. |
| But I will sing of your strength; when morning dawns, I will proclaim your kindness. For you have been my fortress, my refuge in times of trouble. | But I will sing of thy power; yea, I will sing aloud of thy mercy in the morning: for thou hast been my defence and refuge in the day of my trouble. |
| I love you, O Lord, my strength, O Lord, my rock, my fortress, my deliverer. My God is my rock in whom I take refuge, my shield and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold. | I will love thee, O Lord, my strength. The Lord is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer; my God, my strength, in whom I will trust; my buckler, and the horn of my salvation, and my high tower. |
| You who abide in the shelter of the Most High, who rest in the shadow of the Almighty, say to the Lord, “You are my refuge and my fortress, my God in whom I place my trust.” | He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. I will say of the Lord, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God; in him will I trust. |
