Protecção e segurança
Deus é nosso protetor e refúgio seguro. Em todas as circunstâncias, a Bíblia nos assegura que o Senhor guarda, sustenta e protege aqueles que nele confiam.
Deus, a nossa fortaleza
O Senhor é refúgio e fortaleza, socorro bem presente na angústia. Quem habita no esconderijo do Altíssimo descansa à sombra do Todo-Poderoso.

always ready to help in times of trouble.
Whoever goes to the Lord for safety,
whoever remains under the protection of the Almighty,
can say to him,
"You are my defender and protector.
You are my God; in you I trust."
He will cover you with his wings;
you will be safe in his care;
his faithfulness will protect and defend you.
A thousand may fall dead beside you,
ten thousand all around you,
but you will not be harmed.
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.
The Lord is my light and my salvation;
I will fear no one.
The Lord protects me from all danger;
I will never be afraid.
He alone protects and saves me;
he is my defender,
and I shall never be defeated.
The Lord is a refuge for the oppressed,
a place of safety in times of trouble.
O escudo do Senhor
Deus nos rodeia com sua proteção como um escudo. Ele é rocha, baluarte e libertador. Sua fidelidade nos cobre e nos guarda.
But you, O Lord, are always my shield from danger;
you give me victory
and restore my courage.
I have so many enemies, Lord,
so many who turn against me!
They talk about me and say,
"God will not help him."
But you, O Lord, are always my shield from danger;
you give me victory
and restore my courage.
I call to the Lord for help,
and from his sacred hill he answers me.
I lie down and sleep,
and all night long the Lord protects me.
I am not afraid of the thousands of enemies
who surround me on every side.
This God—how perfect are his deeds!
How dependable his words!
He is like a shield
for all who seek his protection.
O Lord, you protect me and save me;
your care has made me great,
and your power has kept me safe.
You have kept me from being captured,
and I have never fallen.
Praise the Lord, my protector!
He trains me for battle
and prepares me for war.
He is my protector and defender,
my shelter and savior,
in whom I trust for safety.
He subdues the nations under me.
You give victory to kings
and rescue your servant David.
But all who find safety in you will rejoice;
they can always sing for joy.
Protect those who love you;
because of you they are truly happy.
You bless those who obey you, Lord;
your love protects them like a shield.
I pray to you, O God, because you answer me;
so turn to me and listen to my words.
Reveal your wonderful love and save me;
at your side I am safe from my enemies.
Protect me as you would your very eyes;
hide me in the shadow of your wings
from the attacks of the wicked.
Deadly enemies surround me;
The king trusts in the Lord Almighty;
and because of the Lord's constant love
he will always be secure.
The king will capture all his enemies;
he will capture everyone who hates him.
He will destroy them like a blazing fire
when he appears.
The Lord will devour them in his anger,
and fire will consume them.
You are my hiding place;
you will save me from trouble.
I sing aloud of your salvation,
because you protect me.
Segurança e provisão
O Senhor supre todas as necessidades dos seus filhos. Quem busca o Reino primeiro não precisa temer — nada faltará aos que temem ao Senhor.
The Lord is my shepherd;
I have everything I need.
Even lions go hungry for lack of food,
but those who obey the Lord lack nothing good.
Trust in the Lord and do good;
live in the land and be safe.
I am old now; I have lived a long time,
but I have never seen good people abandoned by the Lord
or their children begging for food.
And with all his abundant wealth through Christ Jesus, my God will supply all your needs.
I have the strength to face all conditions by the power that Christ gives me.
Instead, be concerned above everything else with the Kingdom of God and with what he requires of you, and he will provide you with all these other things.
Do not be like them. Your Father already knows what you need before you ask him.
"Ask, and you will receive; seek, and you will find; knock, and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks will receive, and anyone who seeks will find, and the door will be opened to those who knock.
As bad as you are, you know how to give good things to your children. How much more, then, will your Father in heaven give good things to those who ask him!
Guarda e livramento
O anjo do Senhor acampa ao redor dos que o temem e os livra. Deus promete guardar todas as nossas saídas e entradas para sempre.

those who go to him for protection will be spared.

where will my help come from?

who made heaven and earth.
He will not let you fall;
your protector is always awake.
The protector of Israel
never dozes or sleeps.
The Lord will guard you;
he is by your side to protect you.
The sun will not hurt you during the day,
nor the moon during the night.
The Lord will protect you from all danger;
he will keep you safe.
He will protect you as you come and go
now and forever.
Protect me, O God; I trust in you for safety.
Protect me, O God; I trust in you for safety.
I am always aware of the Lord's presence;
he is near, and nothing can shake me.

and give you aid from Mount Zion.
Protect me and save me;
keep me from defeat.
I come to you for safety.
May my goodness and honesty preserve me,
because I trust in you.
War horses are useless for victory;
their great strength cannot save.

those who trust in his constant love.
He saves them from death;
he keeps them alive in times of famine.
We put our hope in the Lord;
he is our protector and our help.
Confiança inabalável
Melhor é confiar no Senhor do que confiar no homem. Quem anda em integridade anda seguro, e a torre forte do nome do Senhor protege o justo.

Sensible people will see trouble coming and avoid it, but an unthinking person will walk right into it and regret it later.
You can get horses ready for battle, but it is the Lord who gives victory.
Be careful how you think; your life is shaped by your thoughts.

And he dwells in their midst."

you will have an answer for all who accuse you.
I will defend my servants
and give them victory."
The Lord has spoken.
You, Lord, give perfect peace
to those who keep their purpose firm
and put their trust in you.
I am your God and will take care of you
until you are old and your hair is gray.
I made you and will care for you;
I will give you help and rescue you.
Just as a bird hovers over its nest to protect its young, so I, the Lord Almighty, will protect Jerusalem and defend it."

If you will only obey me, you will eat the good things the land produces. But if you defy me, you are doomed to die. I, the Lord, have spoken."
The Lord will fight for you, and all you have to do is keep still."
The Lord is good;
he protects his people in times of trouble;
he takes care of those who turn to him.

Everyone will hate you because of me. But not a single hair from your heads will be lost. Stand firm, and you will save yourselves.
Then Jesus asked his disciples, "When I sent you out that time without purse, bag, or shoes, did you lack anything?"
"Not a thing," they answered.
In view of all this, what can we say? If God is for us, who can be against us?
Let us be bold, then, and say,
"The Lord is my helper,
I will not be afraid.
What can anyone do to me?"
So then, submit yourselves to God. Resist the Devil, and he will run away from you.
So then, we should not be sleeping like the others; we should be awake and sober.

We have courage in God’s presence, because we are sure that he hears us if we ask him for anything that is according to his will. He hears us whenever we ask him; and since we know this is true, we know also that he gives us what we ask from him.
We know that no children of God keep on sinning, for the Son of God keeps them safe, and the Evil One cannot harm them.
And now I am coming to you; I am no longer in the world, but they are in the world. Holy Father! Keep them safe by the power of your name, the name you gave me, so that they may be one just as you and I are one. While I was with them, I kept them safe by the power of your name, the name you gave me. I protected them, and not one of them was lost, except the man who was bound to be lost—so that the scripture might come true.
I do not ask you to take them out of the world, but I do ask you to keep them safe from the Evil One.
The Lord alone is God;
God alone is our defense.

Obey all the Lord's laws and commands, so that you may live in safety in the land.
