|
| 3
| Surely he shall deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, and from the noisome pestilence.

|
| 4
| He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt thou trust: his truth shall be thy shield and buckler.
|
|
|
| 5
| Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night; nor for the arrow that flieth by day;
|
|
|
| 6
| Nor 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.
|

| Because thou hast made the LORD, which is my refuge, even the most High, thy habitation;
|
|
|
| 10
| There shall no evil befall thee, neither shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling.
|
|
|
| 11
| For he shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways.

|
| 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 honour him.
|
|
|
| 16
| With long life will I satisfy him, and shew him my salvation.

| 1
| It is a good thing to give thanks unto the LORD, and to sing praises unto thy name, O most High:
|
|
|
| 2
| To shew forth thy lovingkindness in the morning, and thy faithfulness every night,
|
|
|
| 3
| Upon an instrument of ten strings, and upon the psaltery; upon the harp with a solemn sound.

|
|
| 8
| But thou, LORD, art most high for evermore.
|
|
|
| 9
| For, lo, thine enemies, O LORD, for, lo, thine enemies shall perish; all the workers of iniquity shall be scattered.
|
|
|

| 14
| They shall still bring forth fruit in old age; they shall be fat and flourishing;
|
|
|
| 15
| To shew that the LORD is upright: he is my rock, and there is no unrighteousness in him.

| 13
| That thou mayest give him rest from the days of adversity, until the pit be digged for the wicked.
|
|
|

| Shall the throne of iniquity have fellowship with thee, which frameth mischief by a law?
|
|
|
| 21
| They gather themselves together against the soul of the righteous, and condemn the innocent blood.
|
|
|
| 22
| But the LORD is my defence; and my God is the rock of my refuge.
|
|

| 23
| And he shall bring upon them their own iniquity, and shall cut them off in their own wickedness; yea, the LORD our God shall cut them off.
