The Man Who Once Has Found Abode

Verse 1

The man who once has found abode, within the secret place of God shall with Almighty God abide, and in his shadow safely hide.

Verse 2

I therefore of the Lord will say, he is my refuge and my stay; my citadel of strength is he — My God in whom my trust shall be.

Verse 3

For he shall with his watchful care preserve thee from the fowler's snare; yea, he shall be thy sure defense against the deadly pestilence.

Verse 4

His outspread pinions shall thee hide, beneath his wings shalt thou confide. His faithfulness shall ever be a shield and buckler unto thee.

Verse 5

No nightly terrors shall alarm, no deadly shaft by day shall harm; nor pestilence that walks by night, nor plagues that waste in noonday light.

Verse 6

Because his angels he commands to bear thee safely in their hands, to guard thy ways, lest left alone, thou dash thy foot against a stone.

Verse 7

"Because he set his love on Me, from danger I will set him free. Because to him My name is known, On high I'll set him as Mine own."
