- In peace I will both lie down and sleep,
For You alone, Lord, have me dwell in safety. - One who dwells in the shelter of the Most High
Will lodge in the shadow of the Almighty.
I will say to the Lord, “My refuge and my fortress,
My God, in whom I trust!” - But the Lord is faithful, and He will strengthen and protect you from the evil one.
- The Lord is my light and my salvation;
Whom should I fear?
The Lord is the defense of my life;
Whom should I dread? - One who walks in integrity walks securely,
But one who perverts his ways will be found out. - God is our refuge and strength,
A very ready help in trouble. - You are my hiding place; You keep me from trouble;
You surround me with songs of deliverance. Selah - The Lord is good,
A stronghold in the day of trouble,
And He knows those who take refuge in Him. - Cast your burden upon the Lord and He will sustain you;
He will never allow the righteous to be shaken. - He will cover you with His pinions,
And under His wings you may take refuge;
His faithfulness is a shield and wall. - A prudent person sees evil and hides himself;
But the naive proceed, and pay the penalty. - The steadfast of mind You will keep in perfect peace,
Because he trusts in You. - I am not asking You to take them out of the world, but to keep them away from the evil one.
- The Lord will accomplish what concerns me;
Your faithfulness, Lord, is everlasting;
Do not abandon the works of Your hands. - So then, let’s not sleep as others do, but let’s be alert and sober.
- It is better to take refuge in the Lord
Than to trust in people. - The fear of man brings a snare,
But one who trusts in the Lord will be protected. - For I give plenty of water to the weary ones, and refresh everyone who languishes.
- The name of the Lord is a strong tower;
The righteous runs into it and is safe. - He alone is my rock and my salvation,
My stronghold; I will not be greatly shaken. - A rich person’s wealth is his strong city,
And like a high wall in his own imagination. - Trust in the Lord and do good;
Live in the land and cultivate faithfulness. - As for God, His way is blameless;
The word of the Lord is refined;
He is a shield to all who take refuge in Him. - The Lord will also be a stronghold for the oppressed,
A stronghold in times of trouble. - If an army encamps against me,
My heart will not fear;
If war arises against me,
In spite of this I am confident.
But as for me, I will sing of Your strength;
Yes, I will joyfully sing of Your faithfulness in the morning,
For You have been my refuge
And a place of refuge on the day of my distress.For who among people knows the thoughts of a person except the spirit of the person that is in him? So also the thoughts of God no one knows, except the Spirit of God.
