4 His wings of love shall cover thee, There thou art safe; there [boldly] trust He will thy shield and buckler be, His Word is true and [he is] just.
5 Though the night's darkness be the time Of [fears and] dangers, yet you may Rest quietly without such fears, And from [your foes] assaults by day.
6 Though Plagues and many sudden harms [Do oft] surprise men in the night, Trust God, and fear them not; Nor those Which do destroy in [Noon-day] light.
6 Though Plagues and many sudden harms [Do oft] surprize men in the night, Trust God, and fear them not; Nor those Which do destroy in [Noon-day] light.
7 A thousand at thy side shall fall, [And ten] thousands at thy right hand, When nigh thee there it shall not come, But God shall [safely] thee defend.
