Morning
Whoso trusteth in the LORD, happy [is] he.
[Abraham] staggered not at the promise of God through unbelief; but was strong in faith, giving glory to God; and being fully persuaded that, what he had promised, he was able also to perform.--The children of Israel were brought under at that time, and the children of Judah prevailed, because they relied upon the LORD God of their fathers.
God [is] our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. Therefore will not we fear, though the earth be removed, and though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea.--[It is] better to trust in the LORD than to put confidence in man. [It is] better to trust in the LORD than to put confidence in princes.--The steps of a [good] man are ordered by the LORD: and he delighteth in his way. Though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down: for the LORD upholdeth [him with] his hand.
O taste and see that the LORD [is] good: blessed [is] the man [that] trusteth in him. O fear the LORD, ye his saints: for [there is] no want to them that fear him.

Evening
I will both lay me down in peace, and sleep: for thou, LORD, only makest me dwell in safety.
Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night. . . .He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt thou trust.--Even as a hen gathereth her chickens under [her] wings.--He will not suffer thy foot to be moved: he that keepeth thee will not slumber. Behold, he that keepeth Israel shall neither slumber nor sleep. The LORD [is] thy keeper: the LORD [is] thy shade upon thy right hand.
I will abide in thy tabernacle for ever: I will trust in the covert of thy wings.--The darkness hideth not from thee; but the night shineth as the day: the darkness and the light [are] both alike [to thee].
He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things?-- Ye are Christ's; and Christ [is] God's.--I will trust, and not be afraid.
