1 The security of the godly
1 He Ps. 31:20that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High 1 Shall [a]abide Ps. 17:8under the shadow of the Almighty.
2 Ps. 142:5I will say of the Lord, He is my refuge and my fortress: 2 My God; in him will I trust.
3 Surely Ps. 124:7he shall deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, 3 And from the noisome pestilence.
4 Ps. 17:8He shall cover thee with his feathers, 4 And under his wings shalt thou trust: 4 His truth shall be thy shield and buckler.
5 Job 5:19;Ps. 112:7;Prov. 3:23;Is. 43:2Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night; 5 Nor for the arrow that flieth by day;
6 Nor for the pestilence that walketh in darkness; 6 Nor for the destruction that wasteth at noonday.
7 A thousand shall fall at thy side, 7 And ten thousand at thy right hand; 7 But it shall not come nigh thee.
8 Only Mal. 1:5with thine eyes shalt thou behold 8 And see the reward of the wicked.
9 Because thou hast made the Lord, which is ver. 2my refuge, 9 Even the most High, Ps. 90:1thy habitation;
10 Prov. 12:21There shall no evil befall thee, 10 Neither shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling.
11 Ps. 34:7;& 71:3;Mat. 4:6;Luke 4:10;Heb. 1:14For he shall give his angels charge over thee, 11 To keep thee in all thy ways.
12 They shall bear thee up in their hands, 12 Job 5:23;Ps. 37:24Lest thou dash thy foot against a stone.
13 Thou shalt tread upon the lion and [b]adder: 13 The young lion and the dragon shalt thou trample under feet.
14 Because he hath set his love upon me, therefore will I deliver him: 14 I will set him on high, because he hath Ps. 9:10known my name.
15 Ps. 50:15He shall call upon me, and I will answer him: 15 Is. 43:2I will be with him in trouble; 15 I will deliver him, and 1 Sam. 2:30honour him.
16 With Prov. 3:2[c]long life will I satisfy him, 16 And shew him my salvation.
17 Praise for the Lord's goodness
