Hymnal: A New Version of the Psalms of David #165 (1752) Scripture: Psalm 91 Lyrics: 1. He that, the Highest's secret Place,
His sure Retreat, has made.
Secure shall rest, from threat'ning Ills,
Beneath th' Almighty's Shade.
2. Of this Jehovah, I will say,
"He is my Refuge high,
"My strong Munition, and my God;
"On him I will rely.
3. Surely; he shall deliver thee,
Out of the Fowler's Snare;
And save thee, when the noisome Plague
Infests the vital Air.
4. His Feathers shall thee cover o'er.
His Wings Protection yield;
His never-failing Truth shall be
Thy Buckler, and thy Shield.
5. Thou shalt no nightly Terrors fear;
Nor Shafts that fly by Day:
6. No fatal Plague, that darkly walks;
Nor Noon's malignant Ray.
7. Thousands shall fall around thee slain;
Yet shall it not touch thee.
8. Thine Eyes shall only this behold,
And Sinners Portion see.
Second Part
9. Because my Refuge, God, Most-high,
Thy Dwelling thou hast made;
10. Therefore, no Ill shall thee befall,
Nor Plague thy House invade.
11. He'll charge his Angels, thee to keep,
In all thy Ways, from Harms,
12. They, lest a Stone offend thy Feet,
Shall bear thee in their Arms.
13. On th' Asp, and Lyon, thou shalt tread,
Fearless, when e'er ye meet;
The Lyon young, and Dragons fierce,
Shalt trample under Feet.
14. "Because his Love is fix'd on me,
"His Freedom I proclaim;
"I'11 set him high, from Dangers safe,
"For he hath known my Name.
15. "Whene'er he calls, I'll answer him;
"In Troubles I'll be nigh,
"To rescue him from ev'ry Ill;
"And raise his Honour high.
16. "With Length of Days, as best shall be,
"I'll satisfy his Soul;
"Then my Salvation to him shew,
"Where endless Pleasures rowl.
