4  I sought the Lord, and he answered me

and delivered me from all my fears.

6  This poor man cried, and the Lord heard him

and saved him out of all his troubles.

19  Many are the afflictions of the righteous,

but the Lord ^sdelivers him out of them all.

40  The Lord helps them and delivers them;

he delivers them from the wicked and saves them,

because they take refuge in him.

2  I will say¹ to the Lord, “My refuge and my fortress,

my God, in whom I trust.”

3  For he will deliver you from the snare of the fowler

and from the deadly pestilence.

4  He will cover you with his pinions,

and ^bunder his wings you will find refuge;

his faithfulness is a ^cshield and buckler.

5  You will not fear the terror of the night,

nor the arrow that flies by day,

6  nor the pestilence that stalks in darkness,

nor the destruction that wastes at noonday.

14  “Because he holds fast to me in love, I will deliver him;

I will protect him, because he ⁱknows my name.
