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.

O Lord my God, in you do I take refuge; save me from all my pursuers and deliver me,

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

The course of my life is in your power; rescue me from the power of my enemies and from my persecutors.

A prayer of the prophet Habakkuk. According to Shigionoth.

Who among you fears the LORD and listens to his servant? Who among you walks in darkness, and has no light? Let him trust in the name of the LORD; let him lean on his God.

Many pains come to the wicked, but the one who trusts in the LORD will have faithful love surrounding him.

But the LORD is with me like a violent warrior. Therefore, my persecutors will stumble and not prevail. Since they have not succeeded, they will be utterly shamed, an everlasting humiliation that will never be forgotten.

LORD, you light my lamp; my God illuminates my darkness.

When David had gone a little beyond the summit, Ziba, Mephibosheth’s servant, was right there to meet him. He had a pair of saddled donkeys loaded with two hundred loaves of bread, one hundred clusters of raisins, one hundred bunches of summer fruit, and a clay jar of wine.The king said to Ziba,“ Why do you have these?” Ziba answered,“ The donkeys are for the king’s household to ride, the bread and summer fruit are for the young men to eat, and the wine is for those to drink who become exhausted in the wilderness.”“ Where is your master’s grandson?” the king asked.“ Why, he’s staying in Jerusalem,” Ziba replied to the king,“ for he said,‘ Today, the house of Israel will restore my grandfather’s kingdom to me.’”The king said to Ziba,“ All that belongs to Mephibosheth is now yours!”“ I bow before you,” Ziba said.“ May I find favor with you, my lord the king!”When King David got to Bahurim, a man belonging to the family of the house of Saul was just coming out. His name was Shimei son of Gera, and he was yelling curses as he approached.He threw stones at David and at all the royal servants, the people and the warriors on David’s right and left.Shimei said as he cursed,“ Get out, get out, you man of bloodshed, you wicked man!The LORD has paid you back for all the blood of the house of Saul in whose place you became king, and the LORD has handed the kingdom over to your son Absalom. Look, you are in trouble because you’re a man of bloodshed!”Then Abishai son of Zeruiah said to the king,“ Why should this dead dog curse my lord the king? Let me go over and remove his head!”The king replied,“ Sons of Zeruiah, do we agree on anything? He curses me this way because the LORD told him,‘ Curse David!’ Therefore, who can say,‘ Why did you do that?’”Then David said to Abishai and all his servants,“ Look, my own son, my own flesh and blood, intends to take my life— how much more now this Benjaminite! Leave him alone and let him curse me; the LORD has told him to.Perhaps the LORD will see my affliction and restore goodness to me instead of Shimei’s curses today.”So David and his men proceeded along the road as Shimei was going along the ridge of the hill opposite him. As Shimei went, he cursed David, threw stones at him, and kicked up dust.Finally, the king and all the people with him arrived exhausted, so they rested there.Now Absalom and all the Israelites came to Jerusalem. Ahithophel was also with him.When David’s friend Hushai the Archite came to Absalom, Hushai said to Absalom,“ Long live the king! Long live the king!”“ Is this your loyalty to your friend?” Absalom asked Hushai.“ Why didn’t you go with your friend?”“ Not at all,” Hushai answered Absalom.“ I am on the side of the one that the LORD, this people, and all the men of Israel have chosen. I will stay with him.Furthermore, whom will I serve if not his son? As I served in your father’s presence, I will also serve in yours.”Then Absalom said to Ahithophel,“ Give me your advice. What should we do?”Ahithophel replied to Absalom,“ Sleep with your father’s concubines whom he left to take care of the palace. When all Israel hears that you have become repulsive to your father, everyone with you will be encouraged.”So they pitched a tent for Absalom on the roof, and he slept with his father’s concubines in the sight of all Israel.Now the advice Ahithophel gave in those days was like someone asking about a word from God— such was the regard that both David and Absalom had for Ahithophel’s advice.

Consider me and answer, LORD my God. Restore brightness to my eyes; otherwise, I will sleep in death.

I have surely heard Ephraim moaning,“ You disciplined me, and I have been disciplined like an untrained calf. Take me back, so that I can return, for you, LORD, are my God.

Display the wonders of your faithful love, Savior of all who seek refuge from those who rebel against your right hand.Protect me as the pupil of your eye; hide me in the shadow of your wingsfrom the wicked who treat me violently, my deadly enemies who surround me.

But I have trusted in your faithful love; my heart will rejoice in your deliverance.

Vindicate me, LORD, because I have lived with integrity and have trusted in the LORD without wavering.

Oppose my opponents, LORD; fight those who fight me.Take your shields— large and small— and come to my aid.Draw the spear and javelin against my pursuers, and assure me,“ I am your deliverance.”

You will flee by my mountain valley, for the valley of the mountains will extend to Azal. You will flee as you fled from the earthquake in the days of King Uzziah of Judah. Then the LORD my God will come and all the holy ones with him.

You know, LORD; remember me and take note of me. Avenge me against my persecutors. In your patience, don’t take me away. Know that I suffer disgrace for your honor.

Rise up, LORD! Save me, my God! You strike all my enemies on the cheek; you break the teeth of the wicked.

so that I can sing to you and not be silent. LORD my God, I will praise you forever.LORD, I seek refuge in you; let me never be disgraced. Save me by your righteousness.

Do not trust in nobles, in a son of man, who cannot save.When his breath leaves him, he returns to the ground; on that day his plans die.Happy is the one whose help is the God of Jacob, whose hope is in the LORD his God,the Maker of heaven and earth, the sea and everything in them. He remains faithful forever,

So then, let those who suffer according to God’s will entrust themselves to a faithful Creator while doing what is good.

He will call to me,‘ You are my Father, my God, the rock of my salvation.’

LORD my God, I cried to you for help, and you healed me.

I have taken refuge in the LORD. How can you say to me,“ Escape to the mountains like a bird!

My brothers who went with me caused the people to lose heart, but I followed the LORD my God completely.

Through him you believe in God, who raised him from the dead and gave him glory, so that your faith and hope are in God.

Then I will come to the altar of God, to God, my greatest joy. I will praise you with the lyre, God, my God.

Lord, hear! Lord, forgive! Lord, listen and act! My God, for your own sake, do not delay, because your city and your people bear your name.While I was speaking, praying, confessing my sin and the sin of my people Israel, and presenting my petition before the LORD my God concerning the holy mountain of my God—

The LORD is my rock, my fortress, and my deliverer, my God, my rock where I seek refuge, my shield and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold.

I prayed to the LORD my God and confessed: Ah, Lord— the great and awe-inspiring God who keeps his gracious covenant with those who love him and keep his commands—

My God, I trust in you. Do not let me be disgraced; do not let my enemies gloat over me.
