In times of trouble, Lord, you will protect me. You will hide me in your tent and keep me safe on top of a mighty rock.
The Lord is a mighty tower where his people can run for safety—
You are their shelter from harmful plots, and you are their protection from vicious gossip.
I am surrounded by trouble, but you protect me against my angry enemies. With your own powerful arm you keep me safe.
Live under the protection of God Most High and stay in the shadow of God All-Powerful.
You are my place of safety and my shield. Your word is my only hope.
Pray to me in time of trouble. I will rescue you, and you will honor me.
and pulled me from a lonely pit full of mud and mire. You let me stand on a rock with my feet firm,
You died, which means that your life is hidden with Christ, who sits beside God.
Protect me as you would your very own eyes; hide me in the shadow of your wings.
God is our mighty fortress, always ready to help in times of trouble.
Go inside and lock the doors, my people. Hide there for a little while, until the Lord is no longer angry.
When you are in trouble, call out to me. I will answer and be there to protect and honor you.
God Most High, have pity on me! Have mercy. I run to you for safety. In the shadow of your wings, I seek protection till danger dies down.
They will be a place of safety from stormy winds, a stream in the desert, and a rock that gives shade from the heat of the sun.
I feel hopeless, and I cry out to you from a faraway land. Lead me to the mighty rock high above me.
You make my feet run as fast as those of a deer, and you help me stand on the mountains.
They are sly, and they plot against those you treasure.
In days filled with trouble, I search for you. And at night I tirelessly lift my hands in prayer, refusing comfort.
When you punished our people, they turned and prayed to you, our Lord.
Why are you far away, Lord? Why do you hide yourself when I am in trouble?
Jerusalem, Jerusalem! Your people have killed the prophets and have stoned the messengers who were sent to you. I have often wanted to gather your people, as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings. But you wouldn't let me.
Joash hid in the temple with them for six years while Athaliah ruled as queen of Judah.
I will praise you, Lord, for showing great kindness when I was like a city under attack.
and you gave me a new song, a song of praise to you. Many will see this, and they will honor and trust you, the Lord God.
You are a strong tower, where I am safe from my enemies.
