Salmos 121

Calvin says "Whatever thou shalt undertake or engage in during thy life shall come to a happy and successful termination." See related study on The Providence of God. From all evil - How much? "All"! In a similar statement in Psalm 91 the psalmist writes that "you have made the LORD, my refuge, even the Most High (El Elyon), your dwelling place. No evil will befall you, nor will any plague come near your tent." (Psalm 91:9+, Ps 91:10+) Solomon records this proverb… No harm befalls the righteous, but the wicked are filled with trouble. (Pr 12:21) To reiterate, God will not let anything happen which does not work “for good to those who love Him” (Ro 8:28+, Ro 8:29+), hard as it may be at times to believe this promise when we are in midst of "the fiery furnace" of affliction or trouble. At the very end of Paul's life, the great apostle testifies… The Lord will deliver me from every (cp Ps 121:7 phrase "from all evil") evil deed, and will bring me safely to His heavenly kingdom; to Him be the glory forever and ever. Amen. (2Ti 4:18+)
