Be my refuge to protect me; my defense to save me.H5186H241H5337H4120H4581H6697H1004H4686H34673You are my refuge and defense; guide me and lead me as you have promised.H5553H4686H8034H5148H50954Keep me safe from the trap that has been set for me; shelter me from danger.H3318H7568H2098H2934H45815I place myself in your care. You will save me, LORD; you are a faithful God.H3027H6485H7307H6299H3068H410H5716You hate those who worship false gods, but I trust in you.H8130H8104H7723H1892H982H30687I will be glad and rejoice because of your constant love. You see my suffering; you know my trouble.H1523H8055H2617H7200H6040H3045H5315H68698You have not let my enemies capture me; you have given me freedom to go where I wish.H5462H3027H341H5975H7272H48009Be merciful to me, LORD, for I am in trouble; my eyes are tired from so much crying; I am completely worn out.H2603H3068H6887H5869H6244H3708H5315H99010I am exhausted by sorrow, and weeping has shortened my life. I am weak from all my troubles; even my bones are wasting away.H2416H3615H3015H8141H585H3581H3782H5771H6106H624411All my enemies, and especially my neighbors, treat me with contempt. Those who know me are afraid of me; when they see me in the street, they run away.H2781H6887H3966H7934H6343H3045H7200H2351H507412Everyone has forgotten me, as though I were dead; I am like something thrown away.H7911H4191H3820H6H362713I hear many enemies whispering; terror is all around me. They are making plans against me, plotting to kill me.H8085H1681H7227H4032H5439H3245H3162H2161H3947H531514But my trust is in you, O LORD; you are my God.H982H3068H559H43015I am always in your care; save me from my enemies, from those who persecute me.H6256H3027H5337H3027H341H729116Look on your servant with kindness; save me in your constant love.H6440H215H5650H3467H261717I call to you, LORD; don't let me be disgraced. May the wicked be disgraced; may they go silently down to the world of the dead.H954H3068H7121H7563H954H1826H758518Silence those liars - all the proud and arrogant who speak with contempt about the righteous.H8267H8193H481H1696H6277H1346H937H666219How wonderful are the good things you keep for those who honor you! Everyone knows how good you are, how securely you protect those who trust you.H7227H2898H6845H3373H6466H2620H1121H12020You hide them in the safety of your presence from the plots of others; in a safe shelter you hide them from the insults of their enemies.H5641H5643H6440H7407H376H6845H5521H7379H395621Praise the LORD! How wonderfully he showed his love for me when I was surrounded and attacked!H1288H3068H6381H2617H4692H589222I was afraid and thought that he had driven me out of his presence. But he heard my cry, when I called to him for help.H559H2648H1629H5048H5869H403H8085H6963H8469H776823Love the LORD, all his faithful people. The LORD protects the faithful, but punishes the proud as they deserve.H157H3068H2623H3068H5341H539H3499H7999H1346H621324Be strong, be courageous, all you that hope in the LORD.H2388H553H3824H3176H3068

Prayer Tents is a Christian mission organization that serves Christians around the world and their local bodies to make disciples ("evangelize") more effectively in their communities. Prayer Tents provides resources to enable Christians to form discipleship-focused small groups and make their gatherings known so that other "interested" people may participate and experience Christ in their midst. Our Vision is to make disciples in all nations through the local churches so that anyone seeking God can come to know Him through relationships with other Christians near them.
