The One Who Dwells in God

  1. The one who dwells in God as his abode,
    within the shadow of th’Almighty rests.
    “He is my refuge,” I say of the LORD,
    “My fortress sure, my God; in him I trust.”
  2. He surely saves you from the fowler’s snare
    and rescues you from deadly pestilence.
    Under his wings a refuge you will find;
    your strong defense will be his faithfulness.
  3. You will not fear the terror of the night,
    nor arrows flying in the light of day,
    nor the disease which stalks you in the dark,
    nor plague of noon that will destruction lay.
  4. Tho’ thousands fall, ten thousand at your right,
    no harm will come to you or near you stand.
    Your eyes will then look on, and you will see
    the wicked punished as their ways demand.
  5. Because you make the LORD your dwelling place—
    the Most High God, who is my refuge sure—
    no evil then will ever on you fall,
    nor dire calamity come near your door.
  6. For he will charge his angels with your care,
    to guard your ways, your footsteps every one;
    they will uphold and bear you in their hands,
    lest you should strike your foot against a stone.
  7. Upon the mighty lion you will tread;
    the cobra you will overcome and kill.
    Your feet will trample down the king of beasts;
    the serpent will be crushed beneath your heel.
  8. “Because he loves me,” says the Sov’reign LORD,
    “I will deliver him and keep from harm.
    Since he acknowledges my holy name,
    I will protect him with my mighty arm.
  9. “On me he calls, and I will answer him;
    in time of trouble I with him will be.
    I will deliver him and honor give.
    Long will he live, and my salvation see.”
