I am praying to you because I know you will answer,

O God.

Bend down and listen as I pray.

Guard me as you would guard your own eyes.

Hide me in the shadow of your wings.

for I have ransomed you.

you are mine.

I will be with you.

When you go through rivers of difficulty,

you will not drown.

When you walk through the fire of oppression,

you will not be burned up;

the flames will not consume you.”

the LORD your God.

The LORD has given me a strong warning

not to think like everyone else does.

He said,

“Don’t call everything a conspiracy like they do,

and don’t live in dread of what frightens them.

Make the LORD of Heaven’s Armies

holy in your life.

He is the one you should fear.

He is the one who should make you tremble.

He will keep you safe…”

Isaiah 8:11-14
