Thematic Bible: Divine Protector


Thematic Bible




and when My glory passes by, I will put you in the crevice of the rock and cover you with My hand until I have passed by.



You hide them in the protection of Your presence;
You conceal them in a shelter
from the schemes of men,
from quarrelsome tongues.


Be a rock of refuge for me,
where I can always go.
Give the command to save me,
for You are my rock and fortress.


For You have been a stronghold for the poor,
a stronghold for the needy person in his distress,
a refuge from the rain, a shade from the heat.
When the breath of the violent
is like rain against a wall,

Return to a stronghold,
you prisoners who have hope;
today I declare that I will restore double to you.



You hide them in the protection of Your presence;
You conceal them in a shelter
from the schemes of men,
from quarrelsome tongues.






Each will be like a shelter from the wind,
a refuge from the rain,
like streams of water in a dry land
and the shade of a massive rock in an arid land.



How happy you are, Israel!
Who is like you,
a people saved by the Lord?
He is the shield that protects you,
the sword you boast in.
Your enemies will cringe before you,
and you will tread on their backs.



Israel, trust in the Lord!
He is their help and shield.



But let all who take refuge in You rejoice;
let them shout for joy forever.
May You shelter them,
and may those who love Your name boast about You.

Listen closely to me; rescue me quickly.
Be a rock of refuge for me,
a mountain fortress to save me.

Like hovering birds,
so the Lord of Hosts will protect Jerusalem
by protecting it, He will rescue it,
by sparing it, He will deliver it.

I will defend this city and rescue it
because of Me
and because of My servant David.”

The Lord of Hosts will defend them.
They will consume and conquer with slingstones;
they will drink and be rowdy as if with wine.
They will be as full as the sprinkling basin,
like those at the corners of the altar.

On that day the Lord will defend the inhabitants of Jerusalem, so that on that day the one who is weakest among them will be like David on that day, and the house of David will be like God, like the Angel of the Lord, before them.


He said:

The Lord is my rock, my fortress, and my deliverer,



He is my faithful love and my fortress,
my stronghold and my deliverer.
He is my shield, and I take refuge in Him;
He subdues my people under me.
