Reverence for the LORD gives confidence and security to a man and his family.

He will keep you safe from all hidden dangers and from all deadly diseases.

You have made the LORD your defender, the Most High your protector,

and so no disaster will strike you, no violence will come near your home.

Even though the fig trees have no fruit and no grapes grow on the vines, even though the olive crop fails and the fields produce no grain, even though the sheep all die and the cattle stalls are empty,

I will still be joyful and glad, because the LORD God is my savior.

"He protects the lives of his faithful people, but the wicked disappear in darkness; a man does not triumph by his own strength.
