He that doth in the secret place
of the most High reside,
Under the shade of Him that is
th' Almighty shall abide.
I of the Lord my God will say,
He is my refuge still,
He is my fortress, and my God,
and in Him trust I will.
Assuredly He shall thee save,
and give deliverance
From subtile fowler's snare, and from
the noisome pestilence.
His feathers shall thee hide, thy trust
under His wings shall be:
His faithfulness shall be a shield
and buckler unto thee.
Thou shall not need to be afraid
for the terrors of the night;
Nor for the arrow that doth fly
by day, while it is light;
Not for the pestilence, that walks
in darkness secretly;
Nor for destruction, that doth waste
at noon-day openly.
A thousand at thy side shall fall,
on thy right hand shall lie
Then thousand dead; yet into thee
it shall not once come nigh.
Only thou with thine eyes shall look,
and a beholder be;
And thou therein the just reward
of wicked men shalt see.
Because the Lord, Who constantly
my refuge is alone,
Ev'n the Most High, is made by thee
Thy habitation;
No plague shall near thy dwelling come,
No ill shall thee befall:
For thee to keep in
all thy ways
His angels
charge He shall.
They in their hands shall bear thee up,
still waiting thee upon;
Lest thou at any time should'st dash
thy foot against a stone.
Upon the adder thou shalt tread,
and on the lion strong;
Thy feet on dragons trample shall,
and on the lion's young.
Because on Me he set his love,
I'll save and set him free;
Because My great Name he hath known,
I will him set on high.
He'll call on Me, I'll answer him;
I will be with him still
In trouble, to deliver him,
and honour him I will.
With length of days unto his mind
I will him satisfy;
I also My salvation
willl cause his eyes to see.
