I Will Give You Rest

¹ Living in the Most High’s shelter, camping in the Almighty’s shade, ² I say to the LORD, “You are my refuge, my stronghold! You are my God—the one I trust!” ³ God will save you from the hunter’s trap and from deadly sickness. ⁴ God will protect you with his pinions; you’ll find refuge under his wings. His faithfulness is a protective shield. ⁵ Don’t be afraid of terrors at night, arrows that fly in daylight, ⁶ or sickness that prowls in the dark, destruction that ravages at noontime. ⁷ Even if one thousand people fall dead next to you, ten thousand right beside you it won’t happen to you. ⁸ Just look with your eyes, and you will see the wicked punished.
