You have given me your protecting shield, and your help has made me great.
In all circumstances, hold faith as a shield, to quench all [the] flaming arrows of the evil one.
May the Lord increase your number, yours and your descendants.
Better one day in your courts than a thousand elsewhere. Better the threshold of the house of my God than a home in the tents of the wicked.
Who trained my hands for war, my arms to string a bow of bronze.
I will bless you and make your descendants as countless as the stars of the sky and the sands of the seashore; your descendants will take possession of the gates of their enemies,
Some time afterward, the word of the Lord came to Abram in a vision: Do not fear, Abram! I am your shield; I will make your reward very great.
I will make of you a great nation, and I will bless you; I will make your name great, so that you will be a blessing.
And take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God. Constant Prayer.
