If it is not the Lord that builds a house,\par the builder is wasting his time.\par If it is not the Lord that watches over a city,\par the guards are wasting their time.\par
The Lord will protect that person\par and save his life.\par That person will be blessed on earth.\par God will not let that person’s enemies destroy him.\par
“I, the Lord, will care for that garden.\par I will water the garden at the right time.\par I will guard that garden day and night.\par No one will hurt that garden.\par
God’s power protects you through your faith, and it keeps you safe until your salvation comes. That salvation is ready to be given to you at the end of time.
The Lord protects his holy people.
He keeps them from stumbling.
But bad people will be destroyed.
They will fall in the darkness.
Their power will not help them win.
