Psalm 91

WHo dwelleth in the secret place
Where God most high doth hide;
In shadow of th'almighty's grace
Full safely shall abide:
The Lord's my God, I will report,
Ev'n he, and none but he,
He is my refuge, and my fort
In whom my trust shall be.
He surely shall be thy defence,
Both from the fowlers snare;
And from infectious pestilence
Which poysoneth the ayre.
His feathers shall thee overspread
His wings thy confidence:
His truth a shield to save thy head
And buckler for defence:
Thou shalt not need to be afraid
For terrours of the night:
Nor for the arrow be dismai'd
That flies in open light.
Nor shalt thou fear the pestilence
That walks in darksome way;
Nor that destuctions violence,
That wastes at height of day.
A thousand at thy side shall fall,
Millions at thy right hand;
Yet shall it not come neer at all
The place where thou dost stand.
Only with thy peculiar eyes
Shalt thou behold and see
How wicked mens iniquities
Shall recompensed be.

2. Part.
BEcause thou hast the Lord alone,
Who is my rock and shade,
Even the Lord the highest One
Thy habitation made:
No plague nor evill shall befall
Nor come thy dwelling neer:
For he shall charge his Angels all
To keep thee every where:
They shall uphold thee in their hand
From stumbling at a stone:
On Lions neck thy foot shall stand,
And th'Adder tread upon.
The Dragon and the Lions Whelp,
Trod under foot by thee:
I, saith the Lord, will send him help
Because he loved me.
I'l set him up in high degree,
Because he knew my name:
With prayers he shall call on me,
I answering the same.
I will preserve, to honour raise,
Be with him in temptation:
Suffice him with the length of days,
And shew him my salvation.
