2 Samuel 22:3–4

⁹The Lord also will be a refuge for the oppressed, a refuge in times of trouble.

²Behold, God is my salvation; I will trust, and not be afraid: for the Lord JEHOVAH is my strength and my song; he also is become my salvation.

¹⁰The name of the Lord is a strong tower: the righteous runneth into it, and is safe.

⁵Every word of God is pure: he is a shield unto them that put their trust in him.

²The Lord is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer; my God, my strength, in whom I will trust; my buckler, and the horn of my salvation, and my high tower.

²⁹Happy art thou, O Israel: who is like unto thee, O people saved by the Lord, the shield of thy help, and who is the sword of thy excellency! and thine enemies shall be found liars unto thee; and thou shalt tread upon their high places.

¹AFTER these things the word of the Lord came unto Abram in a vision, saying, Fear not, Abram: I am thy shield, and thy exceeding great reward.

⁹O Israel, trust thou in the Lord: he is their help and their shield.

¹⁰O house of Aaron, trust in the Lord: he is their help and their shield.

¹¹Ye that fear the Lord, trust in the Lord: he is their help and their shield.

¹¹The Lord of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our refuge. Selah.

²My goodness, and my fortress; my high tower, and my deliverer; my shield, and he in whom I trust; who subdueth my people under me.

¹³And again, I will put my trust in him. And again, Behold I and the children which God hath given me.

⁶⁹And hath raised up an horn of salvation for us in the house of his servant David;

⁶Ye have shamed the counsel of the poor, because the Lord is his refuge.

¹⁶But I will sing of thy power; yea, I will sing aloud of thy mercy in the morning: for thou hast been my defence and refuge in the day of my trouble.

²And a man shall be as an hiding place from the wind, and a covert from the tempest; as rivers of water in a dry place, as the shadow of a great rock in a weary land.

¹⁹O Lord, my strength, and my fortress, and my refuge in the day of affliction, the Gentiles shall come unto thee from the ends of the earth, and shall say, Surely our fathers have inherited lies, vanity, and things wherein there is no profit.

⁴Keep me, O Lord, from the hands of the wicked; preserve me from the violent man; who have purposed to overthrow my goings.

⁷The Lord of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our refuge. Selah.

⁹Destroy, O Lord, and divide their tongues: for I have seen violence and strife in the city.

¹⁴O God, the proud are risen against me, and the assemblies of violent men have sought after my soul; and have not set thee before them.

¹AND Hannah prayed, and said, My heart rejoiceth in the Lord, mine horn is exalted in the Lord: my mouth is enlarged over mine enemies; because I rejoice in thy salvation.

⁴⁹And that bringeth me forth from mine enemies: thou also hast lifted me up on high above them that rose up against me: thou hast delivered me from the violent man.

⁵¹He is the tower of salvation for his king: and sheweth mercy to his anointed, unto David, and to his seed for evermore.

³⁷And he shall say, Where are their gods, their rock in whom they trusted,

⁷¹That we should be saved from our enemies, and from the hand of all that hate us;

¹DELIVER me, O Lord, from the evil man: preserve me from the violent man;

¹¹Let not an evil speaker be established in the earth: evil shall hunt the violent man to overthrow him.

⁵For in the time of trouble he shall hide me in his pavilion: in the secret of his tabernacle shall he hide me; he shall set me up upon a rock.

⁷The Lord is my strength and my shield; my heart trusted in him, and I am helped: therefore my heart greatly rejoiceth; and with my song will I praise him.

³But thou, O Lord, art a shield for me; my glory, and the lifter up of mine head.

¹GOD is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.

¹²For thou, Lord, wilt bless the righteous; with favour wilt thou compass him as with a shield.

³For thou hast been a shelter for me, and a strong tower from the enemy.

⁷I am as a wonder unto many; but thou art my strong refuge.

¹⁴He shall redeem their soul from deceit and violence: and precious shall their blood be in his sight.

¹¹For the Lord God is a sun and shield: the Lord will give grace and glory: no good thing will he withhold from them that walk uprightly.

⁹Behold, O God our shield, and look upon the face of thine anointed.

²¹Tell ye, and bring them near; yea, let them take counsel together: who hath declared this from ancient time? who hath told it from that time? have not I the Lord? and there is no God else beside me; a just God and a Saviour; there is none beside me.

⁹For thus saith the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel; Behold, I will cause to cease out of this place in your eyes, and in your days, the voice of mirth, and the voice of gladness, the voice of the bridegroom, and the voice of the bride.

⁴⁷And my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Saviour.

⁷Thou art my hiding place; thou shalt preserve me from trouble; thou shalt compass me about with songs of deliverance. Selah.

⁴But after that the kindness and love of God our Saviour toward man appeared,

⁶Which he shed on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Saviour;

⁴I looked on my right hand, and beheld, but there was no man that would know me: refuge failed me; no man cared for my soul.

³I will call upon the Lord, who is worthy to be praised: so shall I be saved from mine enemies.

²Because he hath inclined his ear unto me, therefore will I call upon him as long as I live.

¹³For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.

¹³I will take the cup of salvation, and call upon the name of the Lord.

⁴Then called I upon the name of the Lord; O Lord, I beseech thee, deliver my soul.

⁶This poor man cried, and the Lord heard him, and saved him out of all his troubles.

¹GREAT is the Lord, and greatly to be praised in the city of our God, in the mountain of his holiness.

¹⁵And call upon me in the day of trouble: I will deliver thee, and thou shalt glorify me.

¹⁶As for me, I will call upon God; and the Lord shall save me.

⁴For the Lord is great, and greatly to be praised: he is to be feared above all gods.

¹²Saying with a loud voice, Worthy is the Lamb that was slain to receive power, and riches, and wisdom, and strength, and honour, and glory, and blessing.

⁵Then the Levites, Jeshua, and Kadmiel, Bani, Hashabniah, Sherebiah, Hodijah, Shebaniah, and Pethahiah, said, Stand up and bless the Lord your God for ever and ever: and blessed be thy glorious name, which is exalted above all blessing and praise.

²Who can utter the mighty acts of the Lord? who can shew forth all his praise?

¹⁷I will offer to thee the sacrifice of thanksgiving, and will call upon the name of the Lord.

¹PRAISE ye the Lord. Praise ye the Lord from the heavens: praise him in the heights.

²Praise ye him, all his angels: praise ye him, all his hosts.

³Praise ye him, sun and moon: praise him, all ye stars of light.

⁴Praise him, ye heavens of heavens, and ye waters that be above the heavens.

⁹When I cry unto thee, then shall mine enemies turn back: this I know; for God is for me.

¹BE merciful unto me, O God, be merciful unto me: for my soul trusteth in thee: yea, in the shadow of thy wings will I make my refuge, until these calamities be overpast.

²I will cry unto God most high; unto God that performeth all things for me.

³He shall send from heaven, and save me from the reproach of him that would swallow me up. Selah. God shall send forth his mercy and his truth.

²Sing forth the honour of his name: make his praise glorious.

¹¹Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honour and power: for thou hast created all things, and for thy pleasure they are and were created.
