refuge

⁹All peoples gathered together: trust in him. Pour out your hearts in his sight. God is our helper for eternity.

³¹As for my God, his way is undefiled. The eloquence of the Lord has been examined by fire. He is the protector of all who hope in him.

⁴He will overshadow you with his shoulders, and you will hope under his wings.

⁵For he has hidden me in his tabernacle. In the day of evils, he has protected me in the hidden place of his tabernacle.

¹⁶For God so loved the world that he gave his only-begotten Son, so that all who believe in him may not perish, but may have eternal life. ¹⁷For God did not send his Son into the world, in order to judge the world, but in order that the world may be saved through him.

¹The Praise of a Canticle, of David. Whoever dwells with the assistance of the Most High will abide in the protection of the God of heaven. ²He will say to the Lord, “You are my supporter and my refuge.” My God, I will hope in him. ³For he has freed me from the snare of those who go hunting, and from the harsh word. ⁴He will overshadow you with his shoulders, and you will hope under his wings. ⁵His truth will surround you with a shield. You will not be afraid: before the terror of the night, ⁶before the arrow flying in the day, before the troubles that wander in the darkness, nor of invasion and the midday demon.

⁵Thus says the Lord: “Cursed is a man who trusts in man, and who establishes what is flesh as his right arm, and whose heart withdraws from the Lord. ⁶For he will be like a saltcedar tree in the desert. And he will not perceive it, when what is good has arrived. Instead, he will live in dryness, in a desert, in a land of salt, which is uninhabitable. ⁷Blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord, for the Lord will be his confidence.

¹¹⁴You are my helper and my supporter. And in your word, I have greatly hoped.

⁹I am the door. If anyone has entered through me, he will be saved. And he shall go in and go out, and he shall find pastures.

²Our God is our refuge and strength, a helper in the tribulations that have greatly overwhelmed us.

¹⁰The name of the Lord is a very strong tower. The just one rushes to it, and he shall be exalted.

⁴Yet still, God, who is rich in mercy, for the sake of his exceedingly great charity with which he loved us, ⁵even when we were dead in our sins, has enlivened us together in Christ, by whose grace you have been saved. ⁶And he has raised us up together, and he has caused us to sit down together in the heavens, in Christ Jesus,

²Our God is our refuge and strength, a helper in the tribulations that have greatly overwhelmed us. ³Because of this, we will not be afraid when the earth will be turbulent and the mountains will be transferred into the heart of the sea. ⁴They thundered, and the waters were stirred up among them; the mountains have been disturbed by his strength.

²in Jerusalem. Mountains surround it. And the Lord surrounds his people, from this time forward and even forever. ³For the Lord will not allow the rod of sinners to remain over the lot of the just, so that the just may not extend their hands toward iniquity.

¹The Praise of a Canticle, of David. Whoever dwells with the assistance of the Most High will abide in the protection of the God of heaven. ²He will say to the Lord, “You are my supporter and my refuge.” My God, I will hope in him.

⁷You are my refuge from the tribulation that has surrounded me. You are my exultation: rescue me from those who are surrounding me.
