In times of trouble, you will protect me. You will hide me in your tent and keep me safe on top of a mighty rock.
Joash hid in the temple with them for six years while Athaliah ruled as queen of Judah.
Why are you far away, LORD? Why do you hide yourself when I am in trouble?
You are my place of safety and my shield. Your word is my only hope.
I am surrounded by trouble, but you protect me against my angry enemies. With your own powerful arm you keep me safe.
Protect me as you would your very own eyes; hide me in the shadow of your wings.
You make my feet run as fast as those of a deer, and you help me stand on the mountains.
You are their shelter from harmful plots, and you are their protection from vicious gossip.
I will praise you, LORD, for showing great kindness when I was like a city under attack.
and pulled me from a lonely pit full of mud and mire. You let me stand on a rock with my feet firm,
and you gave me a new song, a song of praise to you. Many will see this, and they will honour and trust you, the LORD God.
God is our mighty fortress, always ready to help in times of trouble.
Pray to me in time of trouble. I will rescue you, and you will honour me.
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.
I feel hopeless, and I cry out to you from a faraway land. Lead me to the mighty rock high above me.
You are a strong tower, where I am safe from my enemies.
In days filled with trouble, I search for you. And at night I tirelessly lift my hands in prayer, refusing comfort.
They are sly, and they plot against those you treasure.
Live under the protection of God Most High and stay in the shadow of God All-Powerful.
When you are in trouble, call out to me. I will answer and be there to protect and honour you.
The LORD is a mighty tower where his people can run for safety—
When you punished our people, they turned and prayed to you, our LORD.
Go inside and lock the doors, my people. Hide there for a little while, until the LORD is no longer angry.
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.
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.
You died, which means that your life is hidden with Christ, who sits beside God.
