A Prayer of Moses the man of God. Lord, You have been our refuge in all generations.

And if you shall trust in Him, He shall be to you for a sanctuary; and you shall not come against [Him] as against a stumbling stone, neither as against the falling of a rock; but the houses of Jacob are in a snare, and those who dwell in Jerusalem are in a pit.

Therefore say, Thus says the Lord: I will cast them off among the nations, and will disperse them into every land, yet will I be to them for a little sanctuary in the countries which they shall enter.

I will be as dew to Israel: he shall bloom as the lily, and cast forth his roots as Lebanon.

His branches shall spread, and he shall be as a fruitful olive, and his smell shall be as [the smell] of Lebanon.

And we have come to know and believe the love which God has in us. God is love, and he that abides in love abides in God, and God abides in him.

His soul shall dwell in prosperity; and his seed shall inherit the earth.

And He shall come, and it shall be with regard to every place in Mount Zion, yea, all the region round about it shall a cloud overshadow by day, and [there shall be] as it were the smoke and light of fire burning by night; and upon all the glory shall be a defense.

And it shall be for a shadow from the heat, and as a shelter and a hiding place from inclemency [of weather] and from rain.

RECHS. The breath of our nostrils, our anointed Lord, was taken in their destructive snares, of whom we said, In His shadow we shall live among the Gentiles.
