1. He that doth in the secret placeof the most High reside,Under the shade of him that isth' Almighty shall abide.
2. 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.
3. Assuredly he shall thee save,and give deliveranceFrom subtile fowler's snare,and from the noisome pestilence.
4. His feathers shall thee hide; thy trustunder his wings shall be:His faithfulness shall be a shieldand buckler unto thee.
5. Thou shalt not need to be afraidfor terrors of the night;Nor for the arrow that doth flyby day, while it is light;
6. Nor for the pestilence, that walksin darkness secretly;Nor for destruction, that doth wasteat noon-day openly.
7. A thousand at thy side shall fall,on thy right hand shall lieTen thousand dead; yet unto theeit shall not once come nigh.
8. Only thou with thine eyes shalt look,and a beholder be;And thou therein the just rewardof wicked men shalt see.
