3 Assuredly he shall thee save,
And give deliverance

From subtile fowler's snare, and from
The noisome pestilence.

4 His feathers shall thee hide; thy trust.
Under his wings shall be:
His faithfulness shall be a shield
And buckler unto thee.

5 Thou shalt not need to be afraid
For terrors of the night;
Nor for the arrow that doth fly
By day, while it is light;

6 Nor for the pestilence, that walks
In darkness secretly;

Nor for destruction, that doth waste
At noon-day openly.

7 A thousand at thy side shall fall,
On thy right hand shall lie

Ten thousand dead; yet unto thee
It shall not once come nigh.

8 Only thou with thine eyes shalt look,:
And a beholder be;

And thou therein the just reward
Of wicked men shalt see.

9 Because the Lord, who constantly
My refuge is alone,

Ev'n the most high, is made by thee
Thy habitation;

Still waiting thee upon;

Lest thou at any time should'st dash
Thy foot against a stone.

13 Upon the adder thou shalt tread,
And on the lions strong:
Thy feet on dragons trample shall,
And on the lions young.

14 Because on me he set his love,
I'll save and set him free:

Because my great name he hath known,
I will him set on high.

15 He'll call on me, I'll answer him;
I will be with him still

In trouble to deliver him,
And honour him I will.

16 With length of days unto his mind
I will him satisfy;

I also

my salvation Will cause his

eyes

to see.

3 The floods, O Lord, have lifted up,
They lifted up their voice;

The floods have lifted up their waves,
And made a mighty noise,

4 But yet the Lord, that is on high,
Is more of might by far
Than noise of many waters is,
Or great sea-billows are.

5 Thy testimonies ev'ry one
In faithfulness excel;
And holiness for ever, Lord,
Thine house becometh well.

PSALM XCIV.

As Psalm x. with its parallels.

The eyes of God are ev'ry where,
Beholding all the world abroad:
He form'd the eye; he form'd the ear:
He rules the nations by his nod.
Confounded shall the atheist fly,
And all the proud oppressors die;
In hell their open'd eyes shall see,
"MESSIAH was the King on high."
