²¹ I will keep you safe from the hands of the evil-doers, and I will give you salvation from the hands of the cruel ones.

¹⁶ The angel who has been my saviour from all evil, send his blessing on these children: and let my name and the name of my fathers, Abraham and Isaac, be given to them; and let them become a great nation in the earth.

⁵ And the army of your attackers will be like small dust, and all the cruel ones like dry stems gone before the wind; suddenly it will come about.

⁴⁰ And the Lord will be their help, and keep them safe: he will take them out of the hands of the evil-doers, and be their saviour, because they had faith in him.

¹⁰ Who gave us salvation from so great a death: on whom we have put our hope that he will still go on to give us salvation;

²⁰ And the God of peace will be crushing Satan under your feet before long. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you.

¹³ And let us not be put to the test, but keep us safe from the Evil One.

³⁴ Their saviour is strong; the Lord of armies is his name: he will certainly take up their cause, so that he may give rest to the earth and trouble to the people of Babylon.

¹⁷ No instrument of war which is formed against you will be of any use; and every tongue which says evil against you will be judged false. This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord, and their righteousness comes from me, says the Lord.

²⁴ Will the goods of war be taken from the strong man, or the prisoners of the cruel one be let go?

²⁵ But the Lord says, Even the prisoners of the strong will be taken from him, and the cruel made to let go his goods: for I will take up your cause against your haters, and I will keep your children safe.

²⁰ For the cruel one has come to nothing; and those who make sport of the Lord are gone; and those who are watching to do evil are cut off:

³ For this cause will the strong people give glory to you, the town of the cruel ones will be in fear of you.

⁴ For you have been a strong place for the poor and the crushed in their trouble, a safe place from the storm, a shade from the heat, when the wrath of the cruel ones is like a winter storm.

⁵ As heat by the shade of a cloud, the noise of the men of pride has been made quiet by you; as heat by the shade of a cloud, the song of the cruel ones has been stopped.

² When evil-doers, even my haters, came on me to put an end to me, they were broken and put to shame.
