You Are My Refuge and My Fortress 1Whosoeuer sitteth vnder the couer of the most highest: he shal abide vnder the shadowe of the almightie. 2I wyll say vnto God, thou art my hope and my fortresse: my Lorde, in whom I wyll trust. 3For he wyll delyuer thee from the snare of the hunter: and from the noysome pestilence. 4He wyll couer thee vnder his wynges, & thou shalt be safe vnder his fethers: his faythfulnesse shalbe thy shielde and buckler. 5Thou shalt not be afrayde of any terrour of the nyght: nor of any arrowe that sleeth by day, 6Nor of any pestilence that walketh in the darknesse: nor of any deadly fyt that destroyeth at hygh noone. 7A thousande shall fall beside thee, and ten thousande at thy ryght hande: but it shall not come nygh thee. 8Thou only with thine eyes shalt beholde: & see the rewarde of the vngodly. 9For thou O God art my hope: thou hast set thine habitation very hygh. 10There shall no euyll lyght on thee: neither shall any plague come nye thy dwellyng. 11For he wyll geue his angels charge ouer thee: to kepe thee in all thy wayes.
12They wyll beare thee in
13Thou shalt set thy foote vppon the Lion and Adder: the young Lion and the Dragon thou shalt treade vnder thy feete.
14Because he hath set greatly his loue vpon me, therfore wyll I deliuer hym: I wyll set hym vp out of all daunger, because he hath knowen my name.
15He shall call vpon me, and I wyll heare hym: yea I am with hym in trouble, I wyll deliuer hym, and bryng hym to honour.
16I wyll satisfie hym with a long lyfe: and I wyll cause hym to see my saluation. |
