Thematic Bible: A refuge


Thematic Bible




and it will come about, while My glory is passing by, that I will put you in the cleft of the rock and cover you with My hand until I have passed by.



You hide them in the secret place of Your presence from the conspiracies of man;
You keep them secretly in a shelter from the strife of tongues.


Be to me a rock of habitation to which I may continually come;
You have given commandment to save me,
For You are my rock and my fortress.


For You have been a defense for the helpless,
A defense for the needy in his distress,
A refuge from the storm, a shade from the heat;
For the breath of the ruthless
Is like a rain storm against a wall.

Return to the stronghold, O prisoners who have the hope;
This very day I am declaring that I will restore double to you.
