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.
8 Only this dreadful spectacle, [When] that day [comes] thine eyes shall see How those who now live wickedly, Shall then [by God] rewarded be.
