Jehovah also will be a refuge for the oppressed, a refuge in times of trouble.

The king is not saved by a great army; a mighty man is not delivered by much strength.

Let them be as chaff before the wind; and let the Angel of Jehovah drive them away.

And I said, Who will give to me wings like a dove! I would fly away and be at rest.

Let them melt away like waters; they run off to them; he bends his arrows, let them be as though they were cut off.

Let them be as a snail goes into melting; as a miscarriage of a woman, they do not see the sun.

They shall fall by the sword; they shall be a serving for jackals.

Be a rock of refuge for me, to which I may always go; You have commanded to save me; for You are my Rock and my Fortress.

There shall be a fullness of grain in the earth on the top of the mountains; its fruit shall shake like Lebanon, and they of the city shall flourish like grass of the earth.

For a day in Your courts is better than a thousand. I had rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God, than dwell in the tents of wickedness.

Shall the throne of iniquity have fellowship with You, which frames mischief by a law?

Let the righteous strike me; it shall be a kindness; and let him correct me, it is oil on my head, let not my head refuse it; for still my prayer also shall be against their wickedness.
