Abraham named that place "The LORD Provides." And even today people say, "On the LORD's mountain he provides."

I would have destroyed them completely, so that no one would remember them.

Saul and his men were on one side of the hill, separated from David and his men, who were on the other side. They were hurrying to get away from Saul and his men, who were closing in on them and were about to capture them.

Just then a messenger arrived and said to Saul, "Come back at once! The Philistines are invading the country!"

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.

When I lie down, I go to sleep in peace; you alone, O LORD, keep me perfectly safe.

You, LORD, give perfect peace to those who keep their purpose firm and put their trust in you.

Trust in the LORD forever; he will always protect us.

Don't worry about anything, but in all your prayers ask God for what you need, always asking him with a thankful heart.

And God's peace, which is far beyond human understanding, will keep your hearts and minds safe in union with Christ Jesus.

Let us be bold, then, and say, "The Lord is my helper, I will not be afraid. What can anyone do to me?"

The commander went over to Paul, arrested him, and ordered him to be bound with two chains. Then he asked, "Who is this man, and what has he done?"

That is why I asked to see you and talk with you. As a matter of fact, I am bound in chains like this for the sake of him for whom the people of Israel hope."

Now, I am taking the chains off your wrists and setting you free. If you want to go to Babylonia with me, you may do so, and I will take care of you. But if you don't want to go, you don't have to. You have the whole country to choose from, and you may go wherever you wish."

For the sake of this gospel I am an ambassador, though now I am in prison. Pray that I may be bold in speaking about the gospel as I should.

May the Lord show mercy to the family of Onesiphorus, because he cheered me up many times. He was not ashamed that I am in prison,

"When we arrived at the jail, we found it locked up tight and all the guards on watch at the gates; but when we opened the gates, we found no one inside!"

The guards were so afraid that they trembled and became like dead men.
