Psal. 91. Qui habitat.
1
He that with him, that is Most-Hie,in secret shall abide,
Shall to th' Almighties shadow flie,
his safe-lodg'd head to hide.
2
With him: “My refuge, thou, my Fort,(say to the Lord will I;)
My God, with whom in safeties Port,
my hopes at anchor lie.
3
He, where the Fowler sets his snare,shall set thee free from thence;
And to preserve thee have a care,
from woefull Pestilence.
4
His wing, to over-shade thee spread,his plumes thy confidence:
181
a buckler for defence.
5
Nor shall thee, terrour of the night,nor arrow shot by day:
6
Nor Plague, that walkes in darkness, smite,nor noon-tide-Keteb slay.
7
A thousand fall beside thee shall,yet thou not fall thereby:
Ten thousand at thy right hand fall,
yet thee no Plague come nie.
8
This onely shall thine eye behold,what payment for their paine:
For what reward their service sold,
what hire the wicked gaine.
9
Because thou, Lord (my hope hath said)my hope dost fortifie;
The Mansion of my hope is laid
in him, that is Most-Hie.
10
There shall no evill thee befall,thy Tent no Plague annoy:
11
Thy keepers, he his Angels shallin all thy waies employ.
12
And they, to beare thee up from ground,shall joyne their palmes in one:
Thy foot, lest lightly thou shouldst wound,
or dash against a stone.
13
Upon the Lion shalt thou tread,upon the Aspikes crowne:
The Lions whelp, the Dragons head,
thy foot shall trample downe.
14
Because on me he set his love,whence his deliverance came;
Him will I set his harmes above,
for he hath knowne my Name.
182
15
His calling on me will I heare,and answer his entreat:
Be with him in distresse, set cleare,
and make his honour great.
16
Long life on him will I bestow,and fill him full of daies;
And unto him the splendour shew
of my salvations rayes.
