Have you not put a fence around him and his house and all that he has, on every side? You have blessed the work of his hands, and his possessions have increased in the land.
Have you listened in the council of God? And do you limit wisdom to yourself?
The friendship of the Lord is for those who fear him, and he makes his covenant known to them.
For he will hide me in his shelter in the day of trouble; he will conceal me under the cover of his tent; he will set me high on a rock.
You who live in the shelter of the Most High, who abide in the shadow of the Almighty,
for the perverse are an abomination to the Lord, but the upright are in his confidence.
