Safety of Abiding in the Presence of God
1 He Ps. 27:5; 31:20; 32:7who dwells in the secret place of the Most High
Shall abide Ps. 17:8; Is. 25:4; 32:2under the shadow of the Almighty.
2 Ps. 142:5I will say of the Lord, "He is my refuge and my fortress;
My God, in Him I will trust."
3 Surely Ps. 124:7; Prov. 6:5He shall deliver you from the snare of the fowler
And from the perilous pestilence.
4 Ps. 17:8He shall cover you with His feathers,
And under His wings you shall take refuge;
His truth shallbeyour shield and buckler.
5 (Job 5:19; Ps. 112:7; Is. 43:2)You shall not be afraid of the terror by night,
Nor of the arrow that flies by day,
6 Nor of the pestilence that walks in darkness,
Nor of the destruction that lays waste at noonday.
7 A thousand may fall at your side,
And ten thousand at your right hand;
But it shall not come near you.
8 Only Ps. 37:34; Mal. 1:5with your eyes shall you look,
And see the reward of the wicked.
9 Because you have made the Lord, whoisPs. 91:2my refuge,
Even the Most High, Ps. 90:1your dwelling place,
10 (Prov. 12:21)No evil shall befall you,
Nor shall any plague come near your dwelling;
11 Ps. 34:7; Matt. 4:6; Luke 4:10; (Heb. 1:14)For He shall give His angels charge over you,
To keep you in all your ways.
12 In their hands they shall bear you up,
Matt. 4:6; Luke 4:11Lest you dash your foot against a stone.
13 You shall tread upon the lion and the cobra,
The young lion and the serpent you shall trample underfoot.
14 "Because he has set his love upon Me, therefore I will deliver him;
I will set him on high, because he has (Ps. 9:10)known My name.
15 He shall Job 12:4; Ps. 50:15call upon Me, and I will answer him;
I willbeIs. 43:2with him in trouble;
I will deliver him and honor him.
16 With long life I will satisfy him,
And show him My salvation."
