He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty... (Psalm 91:1)
Psalm 91:
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 I will trust.”
Surely He shall deliver you from the snare of the fowler
And from the perilous pestilence.
He shall cover you with His feathers,
And under His wings you shall take refuge;
His truth shall be your shield and buckler.
You shall not be afraid of the terror by night,
Nor of the arrow that flies by day,
Nor of the pestilence that walks in darkness,
Nor of the destruction that lays waste at noonday.
A thousand may fall at your side,
And ten thousand at your right hand;
But it shall not come near you.
Only with your eyes shall you look,
And see the reward of the wicked.
Because you have made the Lord, who is my refuge,
Even the Most High, your dwelling place,
No evil shall befall you,
Nor shall any plague come near your dwelling;
For He shall give His angels charge over you,
To keep you in all your ways.
In their hands they shall bear you up,
Lest you dash your foot against a stone.
You shall tread upon the lion and the cobra,
The young lion and the serpent you shall trample underfoot.
“Because he has set his love upon Me, therefore I will deliver him;
I will set him on high, because he has known My name.
He shall call upon Me, and I will answer him;
I will be with him in trouble;
I will deliver him and honour him.
With long life I will satisfy him,
And show him My salvation.”
الرب راعي فلا يعوزني شيء - في مراع خضر يربضني - إلى مياه الراحة يوردني يرد نفسي - يهديني إلى سبل البر من أجل اسمه - أيضا إذا سرت في وادي ظل الموت لا أخاف شرا، لأنك أنت معي - عصاك وعكازك هما يعزيانني - ترتب قدامي مائدة تجاه مضايقي - مسحت بالدهن رأسي - كأسي ريا إنما خير ورحمة يتبعانني كل أيام حياتي - وأسكن في بيت الرب إلى مدى الأيام

“I am the Good Shepherd. The Good Shepherd lays down His life for the sheep. The hired hand is not the shepherd and does not own the sheep. So when he sees the wolf coming, he abandons the sheep and runs away. Then the wolf attacks the flock and scatters it. The man runs away because he is a hired hand and cares not for the sheep..." (John 10:11-13)

ترنيمة أنا هو العبد
أنا هو العبدُ الذي دفن النعمة بيديه
فاعطني أنت يا ربّي القوّة من يديك
أنا هي العذراء التي نفذ سراجُها من الزيت
أعطني أنت يا ربّي حكمةَ من عينيك
أنا هو الابنُ الذي من كفر بحبّ أبيه
وذلك التلميذ الذي أسلمك بقبلته
أنا هي الزانية التي بالحجارة هدّدوها
وتلك السامريّة التي كُشف ما في داخلها
أنا هو من أنكركَ ومن لعَنَ بشفتيه
أعطني أنت يا ربّي البركةَ من كفّيك
أنا المصلوبُ قربَ صليبك
أنا هو الذي عيَّرَك
فاعطني أنت يا ربّي المغفرةَ من شفتيك
أنا المصلوبُ قربَ صليبك
أنا هو الذي عيَّرك
فاعطني أنت يا ربّي المغفرةَ
المغفرة
Oh Lord, give me strength from Your hands.
I am that chaste whose lamp ran out of oil,
Oh Lord, give me wisdom from Your eyes.
And that disciple who betrayed You with a kiss.
I am the adulteress who was threatened with stones,
I am the one who denied You and cursed with his lips.
Oh Lord, give me blessing from Your palms.
I am the one who mocked You.
Oh Lord, give me forgiveness from Your lips.

"Heavenly Father, in His earthly life Your Son heard praise and scorn from others and He took no account. Let me take no account of the praises and insults I receive. Rather, let me die to the opinions and judgments of others that I may be saved and raised to new life in your image and likeness; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen."

“A brother came to see Abba Macarius the Egyptian, and said to him, ‘Abba, give me a word, that I may be saved.’ So the old man said, ‘Go to the cemetery and abuse the dead.’ The brother went there, abused them and threw stones at them; then he returned and told the old man about it. The latter said to him, ‘Didn’t they say anything to you?’ He replied, ‘No.’ The old man said, ‘Go back tomorrow and praise them.’ So the brother went away and praised them, calling them ‘Apostles, saints and righteous men.’ He returned to the old man and said to him, ‘I have complimented them.’ And the old man said to him, ‘Did they not answer you?’ The brother said no. The old man said to him, ‘You know how you insulted them and they did not reply, and how you praised them and they did not speak; so you too if you wish to be saved must do the same and become a dead man. Like the dead, take no account of either the scorn of men or their praises, and you can be saved.’” (St. Macarius of Egypt)
