You have made the LORD your defender, the Most High your protector,
and so no disaster will strike you, no violence will come near your home.
God will put his angels in charge of you to protect you wherever you go.
They will hold you up with their hands to keep you from hurting your feet on the stones.
You will trample down lions and snakes, fierce lions and poisonous snakes.
God says, "I will save those who love me and will protect those who acknowledge me as LORD.
When they call to me, I will answer them; when they are in trouble, I will be with them.
I will rescue them and honour them. I will reward them with long life; I will save them."
Of course, this promise does not mean God's people will never meet danger. Rather, as God often does, He preserves us during danger and trouble. And even if our experience culminates in the loss of our physical life, we know we have an eternal home with God.
