Lord my God, I take refuge in you; save and deliver me from all who pursue me,

Lord my God, I go to you for safety. Help me. Save me from all those who are chasing me.

I come to you for protection, O Lord my God. Save me from my persecutors— rescue me!

LORD my God, I seek refuge in you; save me from all my pursuers and rescue me,

O Lord my God, in You I have taken refuge; Save me from all those who pursue me, and rescue me,

O Lord my God, in You I put my trust; Save me from all those who persecute me; And deliver me,

O Jehovah my God, in thee do I take refuge: Save me from all them that pursue me, and deliver me,

Yahweh my God, I seek refuge in You; save me from all my pursuers and rescue me

O LORD my God, in thee do I put my trust: save me from all them that persecute me, and deliver me:

O LORD my God, in you I have taken shelter. Deliver me from all who chase me! Rescue me!

Yahweh, my God, I take refuge in you. Save me from all those who pursue me, and deliver me,

My times are in your hand; rescue me from the hand of my enemies and from my persecutors!

A prayer of Habakkuk the prophet, according to Shigionoth.

Who among you fears the Lord and obeys the voice of his servant? Let him who walks in darkness and has no light trust in the name of the Lord and rely on his God.

Many are the sorrows of the wicked, but steadfast love surrounds the one who trusts in the Lord.

But the Lord is with me as a dread warrior; therefore my persecutors will stumble; they will not overcome me. They will be greatly shamed, for they will not succeed. Their eternal dishonor will never be forgotten.

For it is you who light my lamp; the Lord my God lightens my darkness.

When David had passed a little beyond the summit, Ziba the servant of Mephibosheth met him, with a couple of donkeys saddled, bearing two hundred loaves of bread, a hundred bunches of raisins, a hundred of summer fruits, and a skin of wine.And the king said to Ziba,“ Why have you brought these?” Ziba answered,“ The donkeys are for the king’s household to ride on, the bread and summer fruit for the young men to eat, and the wine for those who faint in the wilderness to drink.”And the king said,“ And where is your master’s son?” Ziba said to the king,“ Behold, he remains in Jerusalem, for he said,‘ Today the house of Israel will give me back the kingdom of my father.’”Then the king said to Ziba,“ Behold, all that belonged to Mephibosheth is now yours.” And Ziba said,“ I pay homage; let me ever find favor in your sight, my lord the king.”When King David came to Bahurim, there came out a man of the family of the house of Saul, whose name was Shimei, the son of Gera, and as he came he cursed continually.And he threw stones at David and at all the servants of King David, and all the people and all the mighty men were on his right hand and on his left.And Shimei said as he cursed,“ Get out, get out, you man of blood, you worthless man!The Lord has avenged on you all the blood of the house of Saul, in whose place you have reigned, and the Lord has given the kingdom into the hand of your son Absalom. See, your evil is on you, for you are a man of blood.”Then Abishai the son of Zeruiah said to the king,“ Why should this dead dog curse my lord the king? Let me go over and take off his head.”But the king said,“ What have I to do with you, you sons of Zeruiah? If he is cursing because the Lord has said to him,‘ Curse David,’ who then shall say,‘ Why have you done so?’”And David said to Abishai and to all his servants,“ Behold, my own son seeks my life; how much more now may this Benjaminite! Leave him alone, and let him curse, for the Lord has told him to.It may be that the Lord will look on the wrong done to me, and that the Lord will repay me with good for his cursing today.”So David and his men went on the road, while Shimei went along on the hillside opposite him and cursed as he went and threw stones at him and flung dust.And the king, and all the people who were with him, arrived weary at the Jordan. And there he refreshed himself.Now Absalom and all the people, the men of Israel, came to Jerusalem, and Ahithophel with him.And when Hushai the Archite, David’s friend, came to Absalom, Hushai said to Absalom,“ Long live the king! Long live the king!”And Absalom said to Hushai,“ Is this your loyalty to your friend? Why did you not go with your friend?”And Hushai said to Absalom,“ No, for whom the Lord and this people and all the men of Israel have chosen, his I will be, and with him I will remain.And again, whom should I serve? Should it not be his son? As I have served your father, so I will serve you.”Then Absalom said to Ahithophel,“ Give your counsel. What shall we do?”Ahithophel said to Absalom,“ Go in to your father’s concubines, whom he has left to keep the house, and all Israel will hear that you have made yourself a stench to your father, and the hands of all who are with you will be strengthened.”So they pitched a tent for Absalom on the roof. And Absalom went in to his father’s concubines in the sight of all Israel.Now in those days the counsel that Ahithophel gave was as if one consulted the word of God; so was all the counsel of Ahithophel esteemed, both by David and by Absalom.

Consider and answer me, O Lord my God; light up my eyes, lest I sleep the sleep of death,

I have heard Ephraim grieving,‘ You have disciplined me, and I was disciplined, like an untrained calf; bring me back that I may be restored, for you are the Lord my God.

Wondrously show your steadfast love, O Savior of those who seek refuge from their adversaries at your right hand.Keep me as the apple of your eye; hide me in the shadow of your wings,from the wicked who do me violence, my deadly enemies who surround me.

But I have trusted in your steadfast love; my heart shall rejoice in your salvation.

Vindicate me, O Lord, for I have walked in my integrity, and I have trusted in the Lord without wavering.

Contend, O Lord, with those who contend with me; fight against those who fight against me!Take hold of shield and buckler and rise for my help!Draw the spear and javelin against my pursuers! Say to my soul,“ I am your salvation!”

And you shall flee to the valley of my mountains, for the valley of the mountains shall reach to Azal. And you shall flee as you fled from the earthquake in the days of Uzziah king of Judah. Then the Lord my God will come, and all the holy ones with him.

O Lord, you know; remember me and visit me, and take vengeance for me on my persecutors. In your forbearance take me not away; know that for your sake I bear reproach.

Arise, O Lord! Save me, O my God! For you strike all my enemies on the cheek; you break the teeth of the wicked.

that my glory may sing your praise and not be silent. O Lord my God, I will give thanks to you forever!In you, O Lord, do I take refuge; let me never be put to shame; in your righteousness deliver me!

Put not your trust in princes, in a son of man, in whom there is no salvation.When his breath departs, he returns to the earth; on that very day his plans perish.Blessed is he whose help is the God of Jacob, whose hope is in the Lord his God,who made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that is in them, who keeps faith forever;

Therefore let those who suffer according to God’s will entrust their souls to a faithful Creator while doing good.

He shall cry to me,‘ You are my Father, my God, and the Rock of my salvation.’

O Lord my God, I cried to you for help, and you have healed me.

In the Lord I take refuge; how can you say to my soul,“ Flee like a bird to your mountain,

But my brothers who went up with me made the heart of the people melt; yet I wholly followed the Lord my God.

who through him are believers in God, who raised him from the dead and gave him glory, so that your faith and hope are in God.

Then I will go to the altar of God, to God my exceeding joy, and I will praise you with the lyre, O God, my God.

O Lord, hear; O Lord, forgive. O Lord, pay attention and act. Delay not, for your own sake, O my God, because your city and your people are called by your name.”While I was speaking and praying, confessing my sin and the sin of my people Israel, and presenting my plea before the Lord my God for the holy hill of my God,

The Lord is my rock and my fortress and my deliverer, my God, my rock, in whom I take refuge, my shield, and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold.

I prayed to the Lord my God and made confession, saying,“ O Lord, the great and awesome God, who keeps covenant and steadfast love with those who love him and keep his commandments,

O my God, in you I trust; let me not be put to shame; let not my enemies exult over me.
