1 Whoso dwelleth under the de- | fence of the • Most | High, ||

shall abide under the | shadow | of • the Al- | mighty. ||

2 I will say unto the Lord, * Thou art my | hope, • and my | stronghold; ||

my | God, in | him • will I | trust. ||

3 For he shall deliver thee from the | snare • of the | hunter, ||

3 and | from the | noisome | pesti•lence. ||

4 He shall defend thee under his wings, * and thou shalt be safe | 3 under his | feathers; ||

his faithfulness and | truth shall • be thy | shield and | buckler. ||

5 Thou shalt not be afraid for any | terror • by | night, ||

nor for the | arrow • that | flieth • by | day; ||

6 For the pestilence that | 3 walketh in | darkness, ||

nor for the sickness that de- | stroyeth | in the | noon-day. ||

7 A thousand shall fall beside thee, and ten | thousand • at thy | right hand; ||

3 but | it shall | not come | nigh thee. ||

8 Yea, with thine | eyes shalt • thou be- | hold, ||

and | see • the re- | ward of • the un- | godly. ||

9 For thou, | Lord, • art my | hope; ||

thou hast set thine | 3 house of • de- | fence • very | high. ||

10 There shall no | evil | happen • unto 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. ||

12 They shall | bear thee • in their | hands, ||

that thou | 3 hurt not • thy | foot a•gainst a | stone. ||

13 Thou shalt go upon the | lion • and | adder: ||

the young lion and the | dragon • shalt thou | tread • under thy | feet. ||

14 Because he hath set his love upon me, * therefore will | I de- | liver • him; ||

I will set him up, be- | cause • he hath | known my | Name. ||

15 He shall call upon me, and | I will | hear him; ||

yea, I am with him in trouble; * I will de- | liver • him, and | bring • him to | honour. ||

16 With long | life • will I | satis•fy him, ||

and | show him | my sal- | vation. ||

Glory | be • to the | Father, ||

and to the Son, | and • to the | Holy | Ghost; ||

As it | was in • the be- | ginning, ||

is now, and ever shall be, * | world with•out | end. A- | men. ||
