1 Those who live in the shelter of the Most High will find rest in the shadow of the Almighty.  2 This I declare about the Lord: He alone is my refuge, my place of safety: he is my God, and I trust him.  3 For he will rescue you from every trap and protect you from deadly disease.  4 He will cover you with his feathers.  He will shelter you with his wings.  His faithful promises are your armor and protection.  5 Do not be afraid of the terrors of the night, nor the arrow that flies in the day.  6 Do not dread the disease that stalks in the darkness, nor the disaster that strikes in midday.  7 Though a thousand fall at your side, though ten thousand are dying around you, these evils will not touch you.  8 Just open your eyes, and see how the wicked are punished.  9 If you make the Lord your refuge, If you make the Most High your shelter, 10 no evil will conquer you; no plague will come near your home.  11 For he will order his angels to protect you wherever you go.  12 They will hold you up with their hands so you won't even hurt your foot on a stone.  13You will trample upon lions and cobras; you will crush fierce lions and serpents under your feet!  14 The Lord says, "I will rescue those who love me.  I will protect those who trust in my name.  15 When they call on me, I will answer; I will be with them in trouble.  I will rescue and honor them.  16 I will reward them with a long life and give them my salvation."

Psalm 32
A psalm of David.
1 Oh, what joy for those whose disobedience is forgiven, whose sin is put out of sight!2 Yes, what joy for those whose record the LORD has cleared of guilt, whose lives are lived in complete honesty!3 When I refused to confess my sin, my body wasted away, and I groaned all day long.4 Day and night your hand of discipline was heavy on me.  My strength evaporated like water in the summer heat.  Interlude5 Finally, I confess my rebellion to the LORD."  And you forgave me!  All my guilt is gone.  Interlude6 Therefore, let all the godly pray to you while there is still time, that they may not drown in the floodwaters of judgement.7 For you are my hiding place; you protect me from trouble.  You surround me with songs of victory.  Interlude8 The LORD says, "I will guide you along the best pathway for your life.  I will advise you and watch over you.9 Do not be like a senseless horse or mule that needs a bit and bridle to keep it under control."10 Many sorrows come to the wicked, but unfailing love surrounds those who trust the LORD.11 So rejoice in the LORD and be glad, all you who obey him!  Shout for joy, all you whose hearts are pure!
