God’s Protection in Times of Trouble

The Lord is my light and my salvation;

I will fear no one.

The Lord protects me from all danger;

I will never be afraid.

When evil men attack me and try to kill me,

they stumble and fall.

Even if a whole army surrounds me,

I will not be afraid;

even if enemies attack me,

I will still trust God.

I have asked the Lord for one thing;

one thing only I do want:

to live in the Lord’s house all my life,

to marvel there at his goodness,

and to ask for his guidance.

In times of trouble he will shelter me;

he will keep me safe in his Temple

and make me secure in a high rock.

So I will triumph  over my enemies around me.

With shouts of joy I will offer

sacrifices in his Temple;

I will sing, I will praise the Lord.

Psalm 27:1-6
