Thou•…•… my hope, & my strong hold, I to the Lord will say;
My God is he, in him will I my whole affiance stay.
[verse 3] Surely, from the slie fowlers snare he shall deliver thee;
And from the noisome pestilence thee safe preserve shall he.
[verse 4] His feathers shall thee hide, thy trust under his wings shall be;
A buckler and a shield of proofe his truth shall be to thee.
[verse 5] So, that the terrours of the night thy heart shall not affright;
Nor yet the arrow shalt thou feare by day, that makes his flight.
[verse 6] Nor for the pestilence that walkes in darknesse secretly;
Nor for destruction that doth waste at noon day openly.
[verse 7] Though at thy side a thousand fall, and on thy right hand lye
Ten thousand dead, yet unto thee it shall not once come nye.
[verse 8] Thereof thou only with thine eies shalt a beholder be;
And thou therein the just reward of wicked men shalt see.
[verse 9] Because the Lord, who of his Saints the refuge is alone;
Even the most High is made by thee thy habitation.

None evill shalt thou need to feare, it shall not thee befall:
Neither to hurt thee any plague come nigh thy dwelling shall.
[verse 11] For to his Angels over thee give a command shall he,
That constantly in all thy waies they keep and succour thee.
[verse 12] They in their hands shal bear thee up, still waiting thee upon;
Lest thou at any time should'st dash thy foot against a stone.
[verse 13] Upon the Adder thou shalt tread, and on the Lion strong;
Thy feet on Dragons trample shall, and on the Lions yong.
[verse 14] Because on me he sets his love, deliver him will I:
Because my Name he well hath knowne, him will I set on hye.
[verse 15] I when he calls will answer him, I will be with him still;
In trouble to deliver him: yea honour him I will.
[verse 16] And by my gift with length of daies he satisfied shall be;
And my salvation and my blisse for ever shall he see.
