Bible Verses About Protection
Scripture on God as refuge and shield — verses for safety, and for placing those you love in his keeping.
The Bible is full of the language of shelter: God as refuge, fortress, shield, and strong tower. These verses are for the fearful and the endangered, and for everyone praying over the people they love.
He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. I will say of the LORD, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God; in him will I trust.

God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.
Thou art my hiding place; thou shalt preserve me from trouble; thou shalt compass me about with songs of deliverance. Selah.
But the Lord is faithful, who shall stablish you, and keep you from evil.
