The psalmist prayed, “Preserve me, O God: for in thee do I put my trust” (Ps. 16:1). “O love the Lord, all ye his saints: for the Lord preserveth the faithful” (Ps. 31:23a). “Withhold not thou thy tender mercies from me, O Lord: let thy lovingkindness and thy truth continually preserve me” (Ps. 40:11). “The Lord preserveth the simple: I was brought low, and he helped me” (Ps. 116:6). “The Lord preserveth all them that love him: but all the wicked will he destroy” (Ps. 145:20). The apostle Paul wrote, “And the Lord shall deliver me from every evil work, and will preserve me unto his heavenly kingdom: to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen” (II Tim. 4:18).
