主啊，你是我们世世代代的居所。

你把他们藏在你那里，使他们得到庇护，免遭世人暗算。你使他们在你的居所安然无恙，免受恶言恶语的攻击。

安居在至高者隐秘处的人，必蒙全能者的荫庇。

犹大王约雅斤及其母亲、臣仆和文官武将向尼布甲尼撒投降。巴比伦王尼布甲尼撒在他执政第八年俘虏了约雅斤，拿走了耶和华殿里和王宫里的宝物，以及所罗门王为耶和华的殿所造的金器，正如耶和华所言。他又掳走住在耶路撒冷的所有将领、勇士、工匠和铁匠共一万人，只留下了境内最贫穷的人。他把约雅斤及其母亲、妃嫔、臣仆和国中政要从耶路撒冷掳到巴比伦。此外被掳的还有能征善战的勇士七千人，工匠和铁匠一千人。

不要惧怕巴比伦王，不要怕他，因为我必与你们同在，拯救你们脱离他的权势。这是耶和华说的。

因为你以至高者耶和华——我的避难所作你的居所，祸患不会临到你身上，灾难不会靠近你的住处。因为祂必命令祂的天使随时随地保护你。天使会用手托住你，不让你的脚碰在石头上。你必将狮子和毒蛇踩在脚下，你必践踏猛狮和巨蛇。耶和华说：“因为他爱我，我必拯救他；因为他信靠我的名，我必保护他。他求告我，我就答应他；他遭遇患难，我必与他同在。我必拯救他，赐他尊贵的地位。我必赐他长寿，并让他看见我的拯救之恩。”
