At that time some Pharisees said to him,“ Get away from here if you want to live! Herod Antipas wants to kill you!”

You will keep in perfect peace all who trust in you, all whose thoughts are fixed on you!Trust in the Lord always, for the Lord God is the eternal Rock.

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