He will cover you with his feathers, and under his wings you will find refuge; his faithfulness will be your shield and rampart.

You anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows. Surely your goodness and love will follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever. (Psalm 23).
97. But I trust in your unfailing love; my heart rejoices in your salvation. I will sing the Lord’s praise, for he has been good to me. (Psalm 13:5-6).
98. Keep me safe, my God, for in you I take refuge. I say to the Lord, “You are my Lord; apart from you I have no good thing.” I say of the holy people who are in the land, “They are the noble ones in whom is all my delight.” (Psalm 16:1-3)

Lord Almighty, blessed is the one who trusts in you. (Psalm 84:2, 10, 11-12)
