6 | Bible Verses About Protection
faithfulness will be your shield and rampart. You will not fear the
terror of night, nor the arrow that flies by day, nor the pestilence
that stalks in the darkness, nor the plague that destroys at midday.
A thousand may fall at your side, ten thousand at your right hand,
but it will not come near you. You will only observe with your eyes
and see the punishment of the wicked. If you say, “The LORD is
my refuge,” and you make the Most High your dwelling, no harm
will overtake you, no disaster will come near your tent. For he
will command his angels concerning you to guard you in all your
ways; they will lift you up in their hands, so that you will not strike
your foot against a stone. You will tread on the lion and the cobra;
you will trample the great lion and the serpent. “Because he loves
me,” says the LORD, “I will rescue him; I will protect him, for he
acknowledges my name. He will call on me, and I will answer him;
I will be with him in trouble, I will deliver him and honor him. With
long life I will satisfy him and show him my salvation.”
