Wicked people watch good people and try to kill them;

but the LORD will not abandon them to their enemy's power or let them be condemned when they are on trial.

He rescues them from oppression and violence; their lives are precious to him.

If anyone should attack you and try to kill you, the LORD your God will keep you safe, as someone guards a precious treasure. As for your enemies, however, he will throw them away, as someone hurls stones with a sling.

Like wheat that ripens till harvest time, you will live to a ripe old age.

The poor man died and was carried by the angels to sit beside Abraham at the feast in heaven. The rich man died and was buried,

I am the living one! I was dead, but now I am alive forever and ever. I have authority over death and the world of the dead.

The 144,000 people stood before the throne, the four living creatures, and the elders; they were singing a new song, which only they could learn. Of the whole human race they are the only ones who have been redeemed.
