GOD IS OUR CREATOR, KNOW WE ARE ALL BROTHERS AND SISTERS, THE CHILDREN OF GOD. GOD'S LOVE IS PERFECT. GOD GIVES US KNOWLEDGE AND WISDOM. IN THE PRESENCE OF GOD, WE WILL KNOW PEACE, LOVE, SAFETY, SECURITY, UNDERSTANDING, GOD WILL GIVE THE RIGHTEOUS REST. GOD WILL NOT FAIL YOU OR FORSAKE YOU. DO NOT FEAR OR BE DISMAYED. GOD IS YOUR REFUGE, A REFUGE FOR THE OPPRESSED, A STRONGHOLD IN TIMES OF TROUBLE. I HAVE SET THE LORD ALWAYS BEFORE ME. BECAUSE HE IS AT MY RIGHT HAND, I WILL NOT BE SHAKEN. THE LORD IS MY LIGHT AND MY SALVATION; WHOM SHALL I FEAR? THE LORD IS THE STRONGHOLD OF MY LIFE; OF WHOM SHALL I BE AFRAID? THOUGH AN ARMY ENCAMP AGAINST ME, MY HEART SHALL NOT FEAR; THOUGH WAR RISE UP AGAINST ME, YET I WILL BE CONFIDENT. YOU ARE MY HIDING PLACE; YOU WILL PROTECT ME FROM TROUBLE AND SURROUND ME WITH SONGS OF DELIVERANCE. I SOUGHT THE LORD, AND HE ANSWERED ME, AND DELIVERED ME FROM ALL MY FEARS. THOSE WHO SEEK THE LORD LACK NO GOOD THING. WHEN THE RIGHTEOUS CRY FOR HELP, THE LORD HEARS, AND RESCUES THEM FROM ALL THEIR TROUBLES. TRUST IN THE LORD AND DO GOOD; SO YOU WILL LIVE IN THE LAND, AND ENJOY SECURITY. TAKE DELIGHT IN THE LORD AND HE WILL GIVE YOU THE DESIRES OF YOUR HEART. COMMIT YOUR WAY TO THE LORD; TRUST IN HIM, AND HE WILL ACT. BE STILL BEFORE THE LORD, AND WAIT PATIENTLY FOR HIM. WHY ARE YOU CAST DOWN, O MY SOUL, AND WHY ARE YOU DISQUIETED WITHIN ME? HOPE IN GOD; FOR I SHALL AGAIN PRAISE HIM, MY HELP AND MY GOD. BY DAY THE LORD COMMANDS HIS STEADFAST LOVE, AND AT NIGHT HIS SON IS WITH ME, A PRAYER TO THE GOD OF MY LIFE. GOD IS OUR REFUGE AND STRENGTH, AN EVER-PRESENT HELP IN TROUBLE. THEREFORE WE WILL NOT FEAR, THOUGH THE EARTH GIVE WAY AND THE MOUNTAINS FALL INTO THE HEART OF THE SEA, THOUGH ITS WATERS ROAR AND FOAM AND THE MOUNTAINS QUAKE WITH THEIR SURGING. HEAR MY CRY, O GOD; LISTEN TO MY PRAYER. FROM THE ENDS OF THE EARTH I CALL TO YOU, I CALL AS MY HEART GROWS FAINT; LEAD ME TO THE ROCK THAT IS HIGHER THAN I. FOR YOU HAVE BEEN MY REFUGE, A STRONG TOWER AGAINST THE FOE. I LONG TO DWELL IN YOUR TENT FOREVER AND TAKE REFUGE IN THE SHELTER OF YOUR WINGS. MY SOUL FINDS REST IN GOD ALONE; MY SALVATION COMES FROM HIM. HE ALONE IS MY ROCK AND MY SALVATION; HE IS MY FORTRESS, I WILL NEVER BE SHAKEN. YOU WHO LIVE IN THE SHELTER OF THE MOST HIGH, WHO ABIDE IN THE SHADOW OF THE ALMIGHTY, WILL SAY TO THE LORD, "MY REFUGE AND MY FORTRESS; MY GOD IN WHOM I TRUST." THOSE WHO LOVE ME, I WILL DELIVER; I WILL PROTECT THOSE WHO KNOW MY NAME. WHEN THEY CALL TO ME, I WILL ANSWER THEM; I WILL BE WITH THEM IN TROUBLE, I WILL RESCUE THEM AND HONOR THEM. WITH LONG LIFE I WILL SATISFY THEM, AND SHOW THEM MY SALVATION. BLESS THE LORD, O MY SOUL, AND DO NOT FORGET ALL HIS BENEFITS—WHO FORGIVES ALL YOUR SINS AND HEALS ALL YOUR DISEASES, WHO REDEEMS YOUR LIFE FROM THE PIT AND CROWNS YOU WITH LOVE AND COMPASSION, WHO SATISFIES YOUR DESIRES WITH GOOD THINGS SO THAT YOUR YOUTH IS RENEWED LIKE THE EAGLE'S. PRAISE THE LORD! HAPPY ARE THOSE WHO FEAR THE LORD. THEY ARE NOT AFRAID OF EVIL TIDINGS; THEIR HEARTS ARE FIRM, SECURE IN THE LORD. THEIR HEARTS ARE STEADY, THEY WILL NOT BE AFRAID. UNLESS THE LORD BUILDS THE HOUSE, THOSE WHO BUILD IT LABOR IN VAIN. UNLESS THE LORD GUARDS THE CITY, THE GUARD KEEPS WATCH IN VAIN. IT IS IN VAIN THAT YOU RISE UP EARLY AND GO LATE TO REST, EATING THE BREAD OF ANXIOUS TOIL; FOR HE GIVES SLEEP TO HIS BELOVED. WHEN I CALLED, YOU ANSWERED ME; YOU MADE ME BOLD AND STOUTHEARTED. WHERE CAN I GO FROM YOUR SPIRIT? WHERE CAN I FLEE FROM YOUR PRESENCE? IF I RISE ON THE WINGS OF THE DAWN, IF I SETTLE ON THE FAR SIDE OF THE SEA, EVEN THERE YOUR HAND WILL GUIDE ME, YOUR RIGHT HAND WILL HOLD ME FAST. SEARCH ME, O GOD, AND KNOW MY HEART; TEST ME AND KNOW MY ANXIOUS THOUGHTS. SEE IF THERE IS ANY OFFENSIVE WAY IN ME, AND LEAD ME IN THE WAY EVERLASTING. THE LORD IS NEAR TO ALL WHO CALL ON HIM, TO ALL WHO CALL ON HIM IN TRUTH. HE FULFILLS THE DESIRES OF THOSE WHO RESPET AND OBEY HIM; HE HEARS THEIR CRY AND SAVES THEM.
