God's protection of our land

Father, our shield is with You, who saves the upright in heart. Establish us in righteousness, O God. And the work of righteousness will be peace, and the effect of righteousness, quietness and confidence forever. Then Your people will live in a peaceful habitation, and in secure dwellings and in undisturbed resting places.

Keep us far from oppression, and let us not fear. Keep us far from terror; let it not come near us. If anyone fiercely assails us, we know it will not be from You, and whoever assails us will fall.

From where shall our help come? Our help comes from You, O Lord, who made heaven and earth. You, God, are our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. In peace, we will both lie down and sleep, for You alone, O Lord, make us to live in safety.
