God’s Protection in Times of Trouble

The Lord is my light and my salvation;

I will fear no one.

The LORD protects me from all danger;

I will never be afraid.

When evil men attack me and try to kill me,

they stumble and fall.

Even if a whole army surrounds me,

I will not be afraid;

even if enemies attack me;

I will still trust God.

I have asked the LORD for one thing;

one thing only do I want:

to lived in the LORD 's house all my life,

to marvel there at his goodness,

and to ask for his guidance.

In times of trouble he will shelter me;

he will keep me safe in his Temple;

I will sing, I will praise the LORD.

I look to the mountain;

where will my help come from?

My help will come from the LORD,

who made heaven and earth.

He will not let you fall;

your protection is always awake.

The protection of Israel

never dozes or sleeps.

The LORD will guard you;

he is by your side to protect you.

The sun will not hurt you during the day,

nor the moon during the night.

The LORD will protect you from all danger;

he will keep you safe.

He will protect you as you come and go

now and forever.

Whoever goes to the LORD for safety,

whoever remains under the protection of the Almighty,

can say to hi,,

"You are my defender and protector

You are my God; in you I trust."

He will keep you safe from all hidden dangers

and from all deadly diseases.

He will cover you with his wings;

you will be safe in his care;

his faithfulness will protect and defend you.

you need not fear any dangers at night

or sudden attacks during the day

or the plagues that strike in the dark

or evils that kills in daylight.

A thousand may fall dead beside you,

ten thousand all around you,

but you will not be harmed.

You will look and see

How the wicked are punished.

You have made the LORD your defender,

the Most High your protector,

and so no disaster will strike you,

no violence will come near you home.

God will put his angels in charge of you

To protect you whenever you go.

They will hold you up with their hands

to keep you from hurting your feet on the stones.

You will trample down lions and snakes,

fierce lions and poisonous snakes.

God says, "I will save those who love me

and will protect those who acknowledge me as LORD.

When they call to me, I will answer them;

when they are in trouble, I will be with them.

I will reward them with long life;

I will save them."
