Sometimes David stayed in places of safety in the desert. At other times he stayed in the hills of the Desert of Ziph. Day after day Saul looked for him. But God didn’t hand David over to him.

I trust in God. I am not afraid. What can mere people do to me?

At that time some Pharisees came to Jesus. They said to him,“ Leave this place. Go somewhere else. Herod wants to kill you.”

Lord, you will give perfect peace to those who commit themselves to be faithful to you. That’s because they trust in you.“ Trust in the Lord forever. The Lord himself is the Rock. The Lord will keep us safe forever.

As a deer frees itself from a hunter, free yourself. As a bird frees itself from a trapper, free yourself.

My God, keep me safe. I go to you for safety.

David thought,“ Some day Saul will destroy me. So the best thing I can do is escape. I’ll go to the land of the Philistines. Then Saul will stop looking for me everywhere in Israel. His hand won’t be able to reach me.”

Saul sent some men to watch David’s house. He told them to kill David the next morning. But David’s wife Michal warned him. She said,“ You must run for your life tonight. If you don’t, tomorrow you will be killed.”

But I trust in you, Lord. I say,“ You are my God.”

I said,“ I wish I had wings like a dove! Then I would fly away and be at rest.I would escape to a place far away. I would stay out in the desert.

That day David ran away from Saul. He went to Achish, the king of Gath.But the servants of Achish spoke to him. They said,“ Isn’t this David, the king of the land? Isn’t he the one the Israelites sing about when they dance? They sing,“‘ Saul has killed thousands of men. David has killed tens of thousands.’ ”David paid close attention to what the servants were saying. He became very much afraid of what Achish, the king of Gath, might do.

From there David went to Mizpah in Moab. He spoke to the king of Moab. He said,“ Please let my father and mother come and stay with you. Let them stay until I learn what God will do for me.”

Then Asa called out to the Lord his God. He said,“ Lord, there isn’t anyone like you. You help the weak against the strong. Lord our God, help us. We trust in you. In your name we have come out to fight against this huge army. Lord, you are our God. Don’t let mere human beings win the battle over you.”

Lord, those who know you will trust in you. You have never deserted those who look to you.

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