1 Peter 2:9 ... But ye are a chosen generation, a royal
priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth
the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his
marvellous light:
Psalm 71:9, 12 ... Cast me not off in the time of old
age; forsake me not when my strength faileth. ... 12 O God, be not far
from me: O my God, make haste for my help.
Psalm 121:1-8 ... I will lift up mine eyes unto the
hills, from whence cometh my help. 2 My help cometh from the Lord, which
made heaven and earth. 3 He will not suffer thy foot to be moved: he
that keepeth thee will not slumber. 4 Behold, he that keepeth Israel
shall neither slumber nor sleep. 5 The Lord is thy keeper: the Lord is
thy shade upon thy right hand. 6 The sun shall not smite thee by day,
nor the moon by night. 7 The Lord shall preserve thee from all evil: he
shall preserve thy soul. 8 The Lord shall preserve thy going out and thy
coming in from this time forth, and even for evermore.
