| Security of Him Who Trust in Justice |
| [1] | HE that dwelleth in the secret place of the Most High Shall 1 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 2 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. |
| Note 1. Or, That abideth … Almighty; Even I &c. [back] |
| Note 2. Or, Because thou hast said, Jehovah is my refuge. [back] |
