Verses from Psalms

我要对耶和华说：“你是我的避难所，我的保障，你是我的神，我所倚靠的。”他必救你脱离捕鸟的人的网罗，脱离致命的瘟疫。他必用自己的羽毛遮盖你，你要投靠在他的翅膀底下； 他的信实象盾牌，像坚垒。

虽有千人仆倒在你的左边，万人仆倒在你的右边，但灾害必不临近你。不过你要亲眼观看，看见恶人遭报。(诗篇 91:2-4, 7-8)

I will say to the LORD, "My refuge and my fortress, My God, in whom I trust!" For it is He who delivers you from the snare of the trapper And from the deadly pestilence. He will cover you with His pinions, And under His wings you may seek refuge; His faithfulness is a shield and bulwark.

A thousand may fall at your side And ten thousand at your right hand, But it shall not approach you. You will only look on with your eyes And see the recompense of the wicked. (Psalms 91:2-4, 7-8)

The psalmist understood the connection between fear and darkness, but he also knew that God is greater than those fears. He wrote, “You shall not be afraid of the terror by night, nor of the arrow that flies by day, nor of the pestilence that walks in darkness” (Ps. 91:5-6). Neither terrors of night nor evil in the darkness need to drive us to fear. We have a God who sent His Son, the Light of the World (John 8:12).

In the light of God’s love and grace and truth, we can find courage, help, and strength to live for Him. 

No matter what happens, we already have God on our side, standing and fighting with and for us.
