For strangers are attacking me; violent people are trying to kill me. They care nothing for God. InterludeBut God is my helper. The Lord keeps me alive!

Besides these, there were Maon, Carmel, Ziph, Juttah,

Ziph, Telem, Bealoth,

For you are my hiding place; you protect me from trouble. You surround me with songs of victory. Interlude

No human wisdom or understanding or plan can stand against the Lord.

For evil people can’t sleep until they’ve done their evil deed for the day. They can’t rest until they’ve caused someone to stumble.

What shall we say about such wonderful things as these? If God is for us, who can ever be against us?

But David kept thinking to himself,“ Someday Saul is going to get me. The best thing I can do is escape to the Philistines. Then Saul will stop hunting for me in Israelite territory, and I will finally be safe.”

I trust in the Lord for protection. So why do you say to me,“ Fly like a bird to the mountains for safety!The wicked are stringing their bows and fitting their arrows on the bowstrings. They shoot from the shadows at those whose hearts are right.The foundations of law and order have collapsed. What can the righteous do?”

But the Lord stood with me and gave me strength so that I might preach the Good News in its entirety for all the Gentiles to hear. And he rescued me from certain death.Yes, and the Lord will deliver me from every evil attack and will bring me safely into his heavenly Kingdom. All glory to God forever and ever! Amen.

You know how much persecution and suffering I have endured. You know all about how I was persecuted in Antioch, Iconium, and Lystra— but the Lord rescued me from all of it.
