Whoso dwelleth under the defence of the Most High: shall abide
under the shadow of the Almighty. I will say unto the Lord, Thou art my
hope and my stronghold: my God, in him will I trust. For he shall deliver
thee from the snare of the hunter: and from the noisome pestilence. He
shall defend thee under his wings: and thou shalt be safe under his feathers.
His faithfulness and truth shall be thy shield and buckler: thou shalt not be
afraid for any terror by night. Nor for the arrow that flieth by day: for the
pestilence that walketh in darkness: nor for the sickness that destroyeth in
the noonday. A thousand shall fall beside thee, and ten thousand at thy
right hand: but it shall not come nigh thee. For he shall give his Angels
charge over thee: to keep thee in all thy ways. They shall bear thee in their
hands: that thou hurt not thy foot against a stone. Thou shalt go upon the
lion and adder: the young lion and the dragon shalt thou tread under thy
feet. Because he hath set his love upon me, therefore will I deliver him: I
will set him up, because he hath known my Name. He shall call upon me,
and I will hear him: yea, I am with him in trouble. I will deliver him, and
bring him to honour: with long life will I satisfy him, and shew him my
salvation. Psalm 91.
