¹² they will lift you up in their hands,
    so that you will not strike your foot against a stone.
¹³ You will tread on the lion and the cobra;
    you will trample the great lion and the serpent.

¹⁴ “Because he loves me,” says the Lord, “I will rescue him;
    I will protect him, for he acknowledges my name.
¹⁵ He will call on me, and I will answer him;
    I will be with him in trouble,
    I will deliver him and honor him.
¹⁶ With long life I will satisfy him
    and show him my salvation.”

Dear Father, You are loving. You are a protector. May I always acknowledge your name. May I always call upon you. Thank you for rescuing me from harm. You are with me in times of trouble. Help me to continue to work out my salvation in you, Lord. Thank you for my salvation. In Jesus’ Name I Pray, Amen.
