Psalms 57:1

So that with good courage we say, “The Lord is my helper. I will not fear. What can man do to me?”

Trust in Yahweh with all your heart, and don’t lean on your own understanding.

You are my hiding place. You will preserve me from trouble. You will surround me with songs of deliverance.

In the shelter of your presence you will hide them from the plotting of man. You will keep them secretly in a dwelling away from the strife of tongues.

His soul will dwell at ease. His offspring will inherit the land.

You will keep whoever’s mind is steadfast in perfect peace, because he trusts in you.

As an eagle that stirs up her nest, that flutters over her young, he spread abroad his wings, he took them, he bore them on his feathers.

Take hold of shield and buckler, and stand up for my help.

Cast your burden on Yahweh and he will sustain you. He will never allow the righteous to be moved.
