Psalm 91
8,6,8,6

^1He that doth in the secret place

of the most High reside,

Under the shade of him that is

th' Almighty shall abide.

^2I 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.

^3Assuredly he shall thee save,

and give deliverance

From subtile fowler's snare, and from

the noisome pestilence.

^4His feathers shall thee hide; thy trust

under his wings shall be:

His faithfulness shall be a shield

and buckler unto thee.

^5Thou shalt not need to be afraid

for terrors of the night;

Nor for the arrow that doth fly

by day, while it is light;

^6Nor for the pestilence, that walks

in darkness secretly;

Nor for destruction, that doth waste

at noon-day openly.

^7A thousand at thy side shall fall,

on thy right hand shall lie

Ten thousand dead; yet unto thee

it shall not once come nigh.

^8Only thou with thine eyes shalt look,

and a beholder be;

And thou therein the just reward

of wicked men shalt see.

^9Because the Lord, who constantly

my refuge is alone,

Ev'n the most High, is made by thee

thy habitation;

^10No plague shall near thy dwelling come;

no ill shall thee befall:

^11For thee to keep in all thy ways

his angels charge he shall.

^12They in their hands shall bear thee up,

still waiting thee upon;

Lest thou at any time should'st dash

thy foot against a stone.

^13Upon the adder thou shalt tread,

and on the lion strong;

Thy feet on dragons trample shall,

and on the lions young.

^14Because 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.

^15He'll call on me, I'll answer him;

I will be with him still

In trouble, to deliver him,

and honour him I will.

^16With length of days unto his mind

I will him satisfy;

I also my salvation

will cause his eyes to see.
