\nMy help<\/u> will come from the Lord,
\nthe Creator of heaven and earth.<\/p>\n
He will not let you fall.
\nYour Protector<\/u> will not fall asleep.
\nIsrael\u2019s Protector<\/u> does not get tired.

\nThe Lord is your Protector<\/u>.
\nThe Lord stands by your side, shading and protecting<\/u> you.
\nThe sun cannot harm you during the day,

\nThe Lord will protect<\/u> you from every danger.
\nHe will protect<\/u> your soul.
\nThe Lord will protect<\/u> you as you come and go,
