Be merciful to me, O God, because I am under attack; my enemies persecute me all the time.

You have rejected us, God, and defeated us; you have been angry with us---but now turn back to us.

I have always walked in your way and have never strayed from it.

Protect me as you would your very eyes; hide me in the shadow of your wings

Love the LORD, all his faithful people. The LORD protects the faithful, but punishes the proud as they deserve.

for the LORD loves what is right and does not abandon his faithful people. He protects them forever, but the descendants of the wicked will be driven out.

The LORD loves those who hate evil; he protects the lives of his people; he rescues them from the power of the wicked.

The LORD protects the helpless; when I was in danger, he saved me.

He protects those who treat others fairly, and guards those who are devoted to him.

Those who know you, LORD, will trust you; you do not abandon anyone who comes to you.

"You relied on the LORD," they say. "Why doesn't he save you? If the LORD likes you, why doesn't he help you?"

Protect me and save me; keep me from defeat. I come to you for safety.

LORD Almighty, how happy are those who trust in you!

Those who trust in the LORD are like Mount Zion, which can never be shaken, never be moved.

Happy are those who have the God of Jacob to help them and who depend on the LORD their God,

You, LORD, give perfect peace to those who keep their purpose firm and put their trust in you.

Trust in the LORD forever; he will always protect us.

"But I will bless the person who puts his trust in me.

He is like a tree growing near a stream and sending out roots to the water. It is not afraid when hot weather comes, because its leaves stay green; it has no worries when there is no rain; it keeps on bearing fruit.

We felt that the death sentence had been passed on us. But this happened so that we should rely, not on ourselves, but only on God, who raises the dead.

and it is for this reason that I suffer these things. But I am still full of confidence, because I know whom I have trusted, and I am sure that he is able to keep safe until that Day what he has entrusted to me.
