- But the Lord is faithful; he will strengthen you and guard you from the evil one.
- You are a hiding place for me;
you preserve me from trouble;
you surround me with glad cries of deliverance. Selah - Do not, O Lord, withhold
your mercy from me;
let your steadfast love and your faithfulness
keep me safe forever. - The Lord will keep you from all evil;
he will keep your life.
The Lord will keep
your going out and your coming in
from this time on and forevermore. - With the Lord on my side I do not fear.
What can mortals do to me? - But you, O Lord, are a shield around me,
my glory, and the one who lifts up my head. - Seek the Lord, all you humble of the land,
who do his commands;
seek righteousness, seek humility;
perhaps you may be hidden
on the day of the Lord's wrath. - Do you think that I cannot appeal to my Father, and he will at once send me more than twelve legions of angels?
- You shall worship the Lord your God, and I will bless your bread and your water; and I will take sickness away from among you.
- The Lord is good,
a stronghold in a day of trouble;
he protects those who take refuge in him. - Even though I walk through the darkest valley,
I fear no evil;
for you are with me;
your rod and your staff—
they comfort me. - Guarding the paths of justice
and preserving the way of his faithful ones. - The Lord bless you and keep you;
the Lord make his face to shine upon you, and be gracious to you;
the Lord lift up his countenance upon you, and give you peace. - He will cover you with his pinions,
and under his wings you will find refuge;
his faithfulness is a shield and buckler. - Sing to God, sing praises to his name;
lift up a song to him who rides upon the clouds —
his name is the Lord—
be exultant before him.
Father of orphans and protector of widows
is God in his holy habitation. - Because I delivered the poor who cried,
and the orphan who had no helper.

and I caused the widow's heart to sing for joy. - The Lord loves those who hate evil;
he guards the lives of his faithful;
he rescues them from the hand of the wicked. - Every word of God proves true;
he is a shield to those who take refuge in him. - The fear of others lays a snare,
but one who trusts in the Lord is secure. - In you, O Lord, I seek refuge;
do not let me ever be put to shame;
in your righteousness deliver me. - This God—his way is perfect;
the promise of the Lord proves true;
he is a shield for all who take refuge in him. - Those who guard their mouths preserve their lives;
those who open wide their lips come to ruin. - This God—his way is perfect;
the promise of the Lord proves true;
he is a shield for all who take refuge in him.
The Lord is my light and my salvation;
whom shall I fear?
The Lord is the stronghold of my life;
of whom shall I be afraid?When the cares of my heart are many,
your consolations cheer my soul. You did not choose me but I chose you. And I appointed you to go and bear fruit, fruit that will last, so that the Father will give you whatever you ask him in my name.Next verse!With image
