my glory, and the one who lifts up my head.(Psalms 3:3)

my glory, and the one who lifts up my head.

Turn your ear to me.

Hear my speech.

Hide me under the shadow of your wings,

from the wicked who oppress me,

my deadly enemies, who surround me.(Psalms 17:6-9)

who trains my hands to war,

and my fingers to battle—

my loving kindness, my fortress,

my high tower, my deliverer,

my shield, and he in whom I take refuge,

who subdues my people under me.(Psalms 144:1,2)

Provisão e sustento contra a incerteza de amanhã
