“O Lord, I have come to you for protection; do’t let me be disgraced. Save me, for You do what is right. Turn Your ear to listen to me; rescue me quickly. Be my rock or protection, a fortress where I will be safe. You are my rock and my fortress. For the honor of Your name, lead me our of this danger. Pull me from the trap my enemies set for me, I entrust my spirit into Your hand. Rescue me, Lord, for You are a faithful God.
Love the Lord, all you godly ones! For the Lord protects those who are loyal to Him, but He harshly punishes the arrogant. So be strong and courageous, all you who put your hope in the Lord!” (Psalm 31, 1-5, 23-24, NLT)
