ii Chronicles 7:14-15
   ¹⁴If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.
   ¹⁵Now mine eyes shall be open, and mine ears attent unto the prayer that is made in this place.

Psalm 27
   ¹The LORD is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? the LORD is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?
   ²When the wicked, even mine enemies and my foes, came upon me to eat up my flesh, they stumbled and fell.
   ³Though an host should encamp against me, my heart shall not fear: though war should rise against me, in this will I be confident.
   ⁴One thing have I desired of the LORD, that will I seek after; that I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of the LORD, and to enquire in his temple.
   ⁵For in the time of trouble he shall hide me in his pavilion: in the secret of his tabernacle shall he hide me; he shall set me up upon a rock.
   ⁶And now shall mine head be lifted up above mine enemies round about me: therefore will I offer in his tabernacle sacrifices of joy; I will sing, yea, I will sing praises unto the LORD.
   ⁷Hear, O LORD, when I cry with my voice: have mercy also upon me, and answer me.
   ⁸When thou saidst, Seek ye my face; my heart said unto thee, Thy face, LORD, will I seek.
   ⁹Hide not thy face far from me; put not thy servant away in anger: thou hast been my help; leave me not, neither forsake me, O God of my salvation.
   ¹⁰When my father and my mother forsake me, then the LORD will take me up.
   ¹¹Teach me thy way, O LORD, and lead me in a plain path, because of mine enemies.
   ¹²Deliver me not over unto the will of mine enemies: for false witnesses are risen up against me, and such as breathe out cruelty.
   ¹³I had fainted, unless I had believed to see the goodness of the LORD in the land of the living.
   ¹⁴Wait on the LORD: be of good courage, and he shall strengthen thine heart: wait, I say, on the LORD.

 Psalm 91
   ¹He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.
   ²I will say of the LORD, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God; in him will I trust.
   ³Surely he shall deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, and from the noisome pestilence.
   ⁴He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt thou trust: his truth shall be thy shield and buckler.
   ⁵Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night; nor for the arrow that flieth by day;
   ⁶Nor for the pestilence that walketh in darkness; nor for the destruction that wasteth at noonday.
   ⁷A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand; but it shall not come nigh thee.
   ⁸Only with thine eyes shalt thou behold and see the reward of the wicked.
   ⁹Because thou hast made the LORD, which is my refuge, even the most High, thy habitation;
   ¹⁰There shall no evil befall thee, neither shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling.
   ¹¹For he shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways.
   ¹²They shall bear thee up in their hands, lest thou dash thy foot against a stone.
   ¹³Thou shalt tread upon the lion and adder: the young lion and the dragon shalt thou trample under feet.
   ¹⁴Because he hath set his love upon me, therefore will I deliver him: I will set him on high, because he hath known my name.
   ¹⁵He shall call upon me, and I will answer him: I will be with him in trouble; I will deliver him, and honour him.
   ¹⁶With long life will I satisfy him, and shew him my salvation
