(KJV) Psalm 911

<< Psalm 90 Psalm 92 >>

You Are My Refuge and My Fortress 2

[1] He that dwelleth3 in the secret place of the most High shall abide4 under5 the shadow of the Almighty. [2] I will6 say of the Lord, [He is] my refuge and my fortress: my God7; in him8 will I trust. [3] Surely he shall deliver thee from the snare9 of the fowler, [and] from10 the noisome pestilence. [4] He shall cover11 thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt thou trust: his truth12 [shall be thy] shield and buckler. [5] Thou13 shalt not be afraid for the terror14 by night; [nor15] for the arrow [that] flieth by day; [6] [Nor] for the pestilence16 [that] walketh in darkness; [nor] for the destruction17 [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.18 [8] Only19 with thine eyes shalt thou behold and see the reward20 of the wicked. [9] Because21 thou hast made the Lord, [which is] my refuge, [even] the most High22, thy habitation; [10] There23 shall no evil befall thee, neither24 shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling. [11] For25 he shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all26 thy ways. [12] They27 shall bear thee up in [their] hands, lest28 thou dash thy foot against a stone. [13] Thou shalt tread29 upon the lion and adder30: the young lion and the dragon31 shalt thou trample under feet. [14] Because he hath set32 his love upon me, therefore will I deliver him: I will set33 him on high, because he hath known34 my name. [15] He shall35 call upon me, and I will answer him: I [will be36] with him in trouble; I will deliver37 him, and honour38 him. [16] With long life39 will I satisfy him, and shew40 him my salvation.
