He that dwelleth in the secret place of the Most High Shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.
|
| 2 |
I will say of Jehovah, He is my refuge and my fortress; My God, in whom I trust.
|
| 3 |
For he will deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, And from the deadly pestilence.
|
| 4 |
He will cover thee with his pinions, And under his wings shalt thou take refuge: His truth is a shield and a buckler.
|
| 5 |
Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night, Nor for the arrow that flieth by day;
|
| 6 |
For the pestilence that walketh in darkness, Nor for the destruction that wasteth at noonday.
|
| 7 |
A thousand shall fall at thy side, And ten thousand at thy right hand; But it shall not come nigh thee.
|
| 8 |
Only with thine eyes shalt thou behold, And see the reward of the wicked.
|
| 9 |
For thou, O Jehovah, art my refuge! Thou hast made the Most High thy habitation;
|
| 10 |
There shall no evil befall thee, Neither shall any plague come nigh thy tent.
|
| 11 |
For he will give his angels charge over thee, To keep thee in all thy ways.
|
| 12 |
They shall bear thee up in their hands, Lest thou dash thy foot against a stone.
|
| 13 |
Thou shalt tread upon the lion and adder: The young lion and the serpent shalt thou trample under foot.
|
| 14 |
Because he hath set his love upon me, therefore will I deliver him: I will set him on high, because he hath known my name.
|
| 15 |
He shall call upon me, and I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble: I will deliver him, and honor him.
|
| 16 |
With long life will I satisfy him, And show him my salvation.
