You Are My Refuge and My Fortress

1(90:1) Praise of a Song, by David. He that dwells in the help of the Highest, shall sojourn under the shelter of the God of heaven.

2(90:2) He shall say to the Lord, Thou art my helper and my refuge: my God; I will hope in him.

3(90:3) For he shall deliver thee from the snare of the hunters, from every troublesome matter.

4(90:4) He shall overshadow thee with his shoulders, and thou shalt trust under his wings: his truth shall cover thee with a shield.

5(90:5) Thou shalt not be afraid of terror by night; nor of the arrow flying by day;

6(90:6) nor of the evil thing that walks in darkness; nor of calamity, and the evil spirit at noon-day.

7(90:7) A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand; but it shall not come nigh thee.

8(90:8) Only with thine eyes shalt thou observe and see the reward of sinners.

9(90:9) For thou, O Lord, art my hope: thou, my soul, hast made the Most High thy refuge.

10(90:10) No evils shall come upon thee, and no scourge shall draw night to thy dwelling.

11(90:11) For he shall give his angels charge concerning thee, to keep thee in all thy ways.

12(90:12) They shall bear thee up on their hands, lest at any time thou dash thy foot against a stone.

13(90:13) Thou shalt tread on the asp and basilisk: and thou shalt trample on the lion and dragon.

14(90:14) For he has hoped in me, and I will deliver him: I will protect him, because he has known my name.

15(90:15) He shall call upon me, and I will hearken to him: I am with him in affliction; and I will deliver him, and glorify him.

16(90:16) I will satisfy him with length of days, and shew him my salvation.
