Then you will live at peace in your tent; when you look at your sheep, you will find them safe.

The LORD guides us in the way we should go and protects those who please him.

If they fall, they will not stay down, because the LORD will help them up.

God will put his angels in charge of you to protect you wherever you go.

They will hold you up with their hands to keep you from hurting your feet on the stones.

I said, "I am falling"; but your constant love, O LORD, held me up.

He will not let you fall; your protector is always awake.

The LORD will guard you; he is by your side to protect you.

He will protect you as you come and go now and forever.

You may make your plans, but God directs your actions.

They are for you, who through faith are kept safe by God's power for the salvation which is ready to be revealed at the end of time.

The LORD loves his people and protects those who belong to him. So we bow at his feet and obey his commands.

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.

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

From Jude, servant of Jesus Christ, and brother of James--- To those who have been called by God, who live in the love of God the Father and the protection of Jesus Christ:

My dear friends, I was doing my best to write to you about the salvation we share in common, when I felt the need of writing at once to encourage you to fight on for the faith which once and for all God has given to his people.

He gives hope to the poor and silences the wicked.

We get to live our lives in darkness and grief, worried, angry, and sick.

"Why are we sitting still?" God's people ask. "Come on, we will run to the fortified cities and die there. The LORD our God has condemned us to die; he has given us poison to drink, because we have sinned against him.

It will be a day of fury, a day of trouble and distress, a day of ruin and destruction, a day of darkness and gloom, a black and cloudy day,

But those who should be in the Kingdom will be thrown out into the darkness, where they will cry and gnash their teeth."

'Friend, how did you get in here without wedding clothes?' the king asked him. But the man said nothing.

Then the king told the servants, 'Tie him up hand and foot, and throw him outside in the dark. There he will cry and gnash his teeth.' "

Now we know that everything in the Law applies to those who live under the Law, in order to stop all human excuses and bring the whole world under God's judgment.

These people are like dried-up springs, like clouds blown along by a storm; God has reserved a place for them in the deepest darkness.

They are like wild waves of the sea, with their shameful deeds showing up like foam. They are like wandering stars, for whom God has reserved a place forever in the deepest darkness.

He reached into his bag and took out a stone, which he slung at Goliath. It hit him on the forehead and broke his skull, and Goliath fell face downward on the ground.

And so, without a sword, David defeated and killed Goliath with a sling and a stone!

A king does not win because of his powerful army; a soldier does not triumph because of his strength.

War horses are useless for victory; their great strength cannot save.

I realized another thing, that in this world fast runners do not always win the races, and the brave do not always win the battles. The wise do not always earn a living, intelligent people do not always get rich, and capable people do not always rise to high positions. Bad luck happens to everyone.

The LORD says, "The wise should not boast of their wisdom, nor the strong of their strength, nor the rich of their wealth.

The angel told me to give Zerubbabel this message from the LORD: "You will succeed, not by military might or by your own strength, but by my spirit.
