1 Whosoeuer sitteth vnder the couer of the most highest: he shal abide vnder the shadowe of the almightie. 2 I wyll say vnto God, thou art my hope and my fortresse: my Lorde, in whom I wyll trust. 3 For he wyll delyuer thee from the snare of the hunter: and from the noysome pestilence. 4 He wyll couer thee vnder his wynges, & thou shalt be safe vnder his fethers: his faythfulnesse shalbe thy shielde and buckler. 5 Thou shalt not be afrayde of any terrour of the nyght: nor of any arrowe that sleeth by day, 6 Nor of any pestilence that walketh in the darknesse: nor of any deadly fyt that destroyeth at hygh noone. 7 A thousande shall fall beside thee, and ten thousande at thy ryght hande: but it shall not come nygh thee. 8 Thou only with thine eyes shalt beholde: & see the rewarde of the vngodly. 9 For thou O God art my hope: thou hast set thine habitation very hygh. 10 There shall no euyll lyght on thee: neither shall any plague come nye thy dwellyng. 11 For he wyll geue his angels charge ouer thee: to kepe thee in all thy wayes. 12 They wyll beare thee in their handes: that thou hurt not thy foote agaynst a stone. 13 Thou shalt set thy foote vppon the Lion and Adder: the young Lion and the Dragon thou shalt treade vnder thy feete.
