- In peace I will lie down and sleep,
for you alone, O Lord, will keep me safe. - Those who live in the shelter of the Most High
will find rest in the shadow of the Almighty.
This I declare about the Lord:
He alone is my refuge, my place of safety;
he is my God, and I trust him. - Fearing people is a dangerous trap,
but trusting the Lord means safety. - The rich think of their wealth as a strong defense;
they imagine it to be a high wall of safety. - But the Lord is faithful; he will strengthen you and guard you from the evil one.
- The Lord is my light and my salvation—
so why should I be afraid?
The Lord is my fortress, protecting me from danger,
so why should I tremble? - People with integrity walk safely,
but those who follow crooked paths will be exposed. - God is our refuge and strength,
always ready to help in times of trouble. - For you are my hiding place;
you protect me from trouble.
You surround me with songs of victory. - The Lord is good,
a strong refuge when trouble comes.
He is close to those who trust in him. - Give your burdens to the Lord,
and he will take care of you.
He will not permit the godly to slip and fall. - He will cover you with his feathers.
He will shelter you with his wings.
His faithful promises are your armor and protection. - A prudent person foresees danger and takes precautions.
The simpleton goes blindly on and suffers the consequences. - 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. - You will keep in perfect peace
all who trust in you,
all whose thoughts are fixed on you! - I love you, Lord;
you are my strength.
The Lord is my rock, my fortress, and my savior;
my God is my rock, in whom I find protection.
He is my shield, the power that saves me,
and my place of safety. - I’m not asking you to take them out of the world, but to keep them safe from the evil one.
- The Lord will work out his plans for my life—
for your faithful love, O Lord, endures forever.
Don’t abandon me, for you made me. - So be on your guard, not asleep like the others. Stay alert and be clearheaded.
- It is better to take refuge in the Lord
than to trust in people. - For I have given rest to the weary and joy to the sorrowing.
- The name of the Lord is a strong fortress;
the godly run to him and are safe. - He alone is my rock and my salvation,
my fortress where I will never be shaken. - Trust in the Lord and do good.
Then you will live safely in the land and prosper. - God’s way is perfect.
All the Lord’s promises prove true.
He is a shield for all who look to him for protection.
The Lord is a shelter for the oppressed,
a refuge in times of trouble.So remember this and keep it firmly in mind: The Lord is God both in heaven and on earth, and there is no other. You must serve only the Lord your God. If you do, I will bless you with food and water, and I will protect you from illness.Next verse!With image
