My Lord will keep me with compassion;
with His heart full of mercy,
He will rule over me and protect me
with His holy hands forever.
1
Until the day of my death, without change,
according to His perfect and unchanging purpose,
I am certain that You, my Lord,
will continue to care for and preserve me.
2
Knowing that Your holy face is always watching over me
is the source of my courage.
Even though I walk through the valley
of the shadow of death,
I will not be afraid in the least.
3
Through an imperishable life-giving power,
as a child of the new birth,
You have given me spiritual renewal
through Your Word,
and You continue to preserve me.
4
I know whom I have believed in.
I am convinced that He is able to guard
what I have entrusted to Him
until the very end.
