⁶The LORD preserveth the simple: I was brought low, and he helped me.

¹³Thou hast thrust sore at me that I might fall: but the LORD helped me.

³He will not suffer thy foot to be moved: he that keepeth thee will not slumber.

⁴Behold, he that keepeth Israel shall neither slumber nor sleep.

⁵The LORD is thy keeper: the LORD is thy shade upon thy right hand.

¹If it had not been the LORD who was on our side, now may Israel say;

²If it had not been the LORD who was on our side, when men rose up against us:

³Then they had swallowed us up quick, when their wrath was kindled against us:

¹They that trust in the LORD shall be as mount Zion, which cannot be removed, but abideth for ever.

²As the mountains are round about Jerusalem, so the LORD is round about his people from henceforth even for ever.

³For the rod of the wicked shall not rest upon the lot of the righteous; lest the righteous put forth their hands unto iniquity.

¹Except the LORD build the house, they labour in vain that build it: except the LORD keep the city, the watchman waketh but in vain.

¹⁴The LORD upholdeth all that fall, and raiseth up all those that be bowed down.

²⁰The LORD preserveth all them that love him: but all the wicked will he destroy.

²The LORD doth build up Jerusalem: he gathereth together the outcasts of Israel.

³He healeth the broken in heart, and bindeth up their wounds.

⁷He layeth up sound wisdom for the righteous: he is a buckler to them that walk uprightly.

⁸He keepeth the paths of judgment, and preserveth the way of his saints.

⁶In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.

²⁴When thou liest down, thou shalt not be afraid: yea, thou shalt lie down, and thy sleep shall be sweet.

³The LORD will not suffer the soul of the righteous to famish: but he casteth away the substance of the wicked.

³⁰The righteous shall never be removed: but the wicked shall not inhabit the earth.

⁸The righteous is delivered out of trouble, and the wicked cometh in his stead.

³A man shall not be established by wickedness: but the root of the righteous shall not be moved.

¹³The wicked is snared by the transgression of his lips: but the just shall come out of trouble.

²¹There shall no evil happen to the just: but the wicked shall be filled with mischief.

²⁶In the fear of the LORD is strong confidence: and his children shall have a place of refuge.

¹⁹The way of the slothful man is as an hedge of thorns: but the way of the righteous is made plain.

⁹A man’s heart deviseth his way: but the LORD directeth his steps.

³³The lot is cast into the lap; but the whole disposing thereof is of the LORD.

²³The fear of the LORD tendeth to life: and he that hath it shall abide satisfied; he shall not be visited with evil.

²²Say not thou, I will recompense evil; but wait on the LORD, and he shall save thee.

²⁴Man’s goings are of the LORD; how can a man then understand his own way?

³¹The horse is prepared against the day of battle: but safety is of the LORD.

¹²The eyes of the LORD preserve knowledge, and he overthroweth the words of the transgressor.

¹⁶For a just man falleth seven times, and riseth up again: but the wicked shall fall into mischief.
