Safety (State)

His confidence is fragile; his security is in a spider’s web.

He is torn from the shelter of his tent and is marched off to the king of terrors.

If I have put my trust in gold or called pure gold my security,

Many, O LORD my God, are the wonders You have done, and the plans You have for us—none can compare to You—if I proclaim and declare them, they are more than I can count.

You formed the mountains by Your power, having girded Yourself with might.

For You are my hope, O Lord GOD, my confidence from my youth.

He who fears the LORD is secure in confidence, and his children shall have a place of refuge.

A wise man scales the city of the mighty and pulls down the stronghold in which they trust.

So that your trust may be in the LORD, I instruct you today—yes, you.

Like a broken tooth or a foot out of joint is confidence in a faithless man in time of trouble.

Then my people will dwell in a peaceful place, in safe and secure places of rest.

Moreover, you will leave that place with your hands on your head, for the LORD has rejected those you trust; you will not prosper by their help.”

But blessed is the man who trusts in the LORD, whose confidence is in Him.

Then Moab will be ashamed of Chemosh, just as the house of Israel was ashamed when they trusted in Bethel.

Egypt will never again be an object of trust for the house of Israel, but will remind them of their iniquity in turning to the Egyptians. Then they will know that I am the Lord GOD.”
