Faith doesn’t stop you from limping, but it does let you know that someone you love is waiting for you.

1
He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High
Shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.
2 
I will say of the Lord, “He is my refuge and my fortress;
My God, in Him I will trust.”
3 
Surely He shall deliver you from the snare of the [a]fowler
And from the perilous pestilence.
4 
He shall cover you with His feathers,
And under His wings you shall take refuge;
His truth shall be your shield and [b]buckler.
5 
You shall not be afraid of the terror by night,
Nor of the arrow that flies by day,
6 
Nor of the pestilence that walks in darkness,
Nor of the destruction that lays waste at noonday.
7 
A thousand may fall at your side,
And ten thousand at your right hand;
But it shall not come near you.
8 
Only with your eyes shall you look,
And see the reward of the wicked.
9 
Because you have made the Lord, who is my refuge,
Even the Most High, your dwelling place,
10 
No evil shall befall you,
Nor shall any plague come near your dwelling;
11 
For He shall give His angels charge over you,
To keep you in all your ways.
12 
In their hands they shall [c]bear you up,
Lest you [d]dash your foot against a stone.
13 
You shall tread upon the lion and the cobra,
The young lion and the serpent you shall trample underfoot.
14 
“Because he has set his love upon Me, therefore I will deliver him;
I will [e]set him on high, because he has known My name.
15 
He shall call upon Me, and I will answer him;
I will be with him in trouble;
I will deliver him and honor him.
16 
With [f]long life I will satisfy him,
And show him My salvation.”

And he opened his mouth, and taught them, saying,

Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted.

Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth.

Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled.

Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy.

Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God.

Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God.

Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness’ sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake.

Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you.
