God is Near -- Always

Protect me, O God; I trust in you for safety.
I say to the LORD, "You are my Lord; all the good things I have come from you."
How excellent are the LORD's faithful people!
My greatest pleasure is to be with them.
Those who rush to other gods bring many troubles on themselves.
I will not take part in their sacrifices;
I will not worship their gods.

You, LORD, are all I have, and you give me all I need;
my future is in your hands.
How wonderful are your gifts to me; how good they are!
I praise the LORD, because he guides me, and in the night my conscience warns me.
I am always aware of the LORD's presence;
he is near, and nothing can shake me.
And so I am thankful and glad, and I feel completely secure,
because you protect me from the power of death.
I have served you faithfully, and you will not abandon me to the world of the dead.
You will show me the path that leads to life;
your presence fills me with joy and brings me pleasure forever.

Psalm 16 -- Today's English Version (The Good News Bible)
