To Aviation Industry, Airport Community, Travelers and Grieving Families

The recent storm of Airline tragedies give us pause and behooves prayer and reflection. Please let us join in reciting this most powerful prayer.

Psalm 21

1. You who dwells in the shelter of the Most High, who abides in the shadow of the Omnipotent:

2. I say of the Lord who is my refuge and my stronghold, my God in whom I trust,

3. that He will save you from the ensnaring trap, from the destructive pestilence.

4. He will cover you with His pinions and you will find refuge under His wings; His truth is a shield and an armor.

5. You will not fear the terror of the night, nor the arrow that flies by day;

6. the pestilence that prowls in the darkness, nor the destruction that ravages at noon.

7. A thousand may fall at your left side, and ten thousand at your right, but it shall not reach you.

8. You need only look with your eyes, and you will see the retribution of the wicked.

9. Because you have said, "The Lord is my shelter," and you have made the Most High your haven,

10. no evil will befall you, no plague will come near your tent.

11. For He will instruct His angels in your behalf, to guard you in all your ways.

12. They will carry you in their hands, lest you injure your foot upon a rock.

13. You will tread upon the lion and the viper; you will trample upon the young lion and the serpent.

14. Because he desires Me, I will deliver him; I will fortify him, for he knows My Name.

15. When he calls on Me, I will answer him; I am with him in distress. I will deliver him and honor him.

16. I will satiate him with long life, and show him My deliverance.
