1He that dwelleth in the secret place of the Most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. I will say of the LORD, He is my refuge and my fortress; my God, in whom I trust. 3For he shall deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, and from the noisome pestilence. 4He shall cover thee with his pinions, and under his wings shalt thou take refuge: his truth is a shield and a buckler.
