1Â Whoever dwells in the shelter of the Most High

3Â Surely He will save you
    from the fowler’s snare
    and from the deadly pestilence.
4Â He will cover you with His feathers,
    and under His wings you will find refuge;
   His faithfulness will be your shield and rampart.
5Â You will not fear the terror of night,
    nor the arrow that flies by day,
6Â nor the pestilence that stalks in the darkness,
    nor the plague that destroys at midday.
7Â A thousand may fall at your side,
    ten thousand at your right hand,
    but it will not come near you.
8Â You will only observe with your eyes
    and see the punishment of the wicked.
9 If you say, “The Lord is my refuge,”
    and you make the Most High your dwelling,
10Â no harm will overtake you,
    no disaster will come near your tent.
11Â For He will command His angels concerning you
    to guard you in all your ways;
12Â they will lift you up in their hands,
    so that you will not strike your foot against a stone.
13Â You will tread on the lion and the cobra;
    you will trample the great lion and the serpent.

16Â With long life I will satisfy him
and show him my salvation.”

29Â He gives strength to the weary
and increases the power of the weak.
30Â Even youths grow tired and weary,
and young men stumble and fall;
31Â but those who hope in the Lord
will renew their strength.
They will soar on wings like eagles;
they will run and not grow weary;
they will walk and not be faint.

21. Romans 8:26-28
26 In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us through wordless groans. 27 And he who searches our hearts knows the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for God’s people in accordance with the will of God.
28Â And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who[a] have been called according to his purpose.
37Â No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. 38Â For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons,[a] neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, 39Â neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
23. 2 Corinthians 1:3-4

He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away.
