The angel of the Lord encampeth round about them that fear him, and delivereth them.
A picture of protection: the angel of the Lord camps around those who fear Him, and rescues them.
KJV4I sought the Lord, and he heard me, and delivered me from all my fears. 5They looked unto him, and were lightened: and their faces were not ashamed. 6This poor man cried, and the Lord heard him, and saved him out of all his troubles. 7The angel of the Lord encampeth round about them that fear him, and delivereth them. 8O taste and see that the Lord is good: blessed is the man that trusteth in him. 9O fear the Lord, ye his saints: for there is no want to them that fear him. 10The young lions do lack, and suffer hunger: but they that seek the Lord shall not want any good thing.
Israel’s prayer book: songs of trust, lament, thanks and praise, many of them by David.
Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness.
God promises His presence, His strength and His help when fear is loud.
But the Lord is faithful, who shall stablish you, and keep you from evil.
The Lord is faithful. He will strengthen you and guard you from evil.
Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.
Even in the valley of the shadow of death, you are not alone.
The name of the Lord is a strong tower: the righteous runneth into it, and is safe.
