10 Therefore no great and deadly harm, No [plotted] ill shall thee befall; Nor any penal hurtful plague Come nigh thy [guarded] dwelling shall.
11 Of thee he'll give his Angels charge, [That] whether thou [dost] wake or sleep; In all thy good and righteous ways They shall thee guard and [safely] keep.
12 As tender nurses bear weak babes, These [lead and] bear thee in their arms; Lest feeble frailty cause thy fall, They keep thee from all [deadly] harms.
13 The Lions fierce, the poisonous Asp Thy feet shall [safely] trample on; The Lions whelps, the Dragons rage, By [conquering] grace thou shalt tread down.
13 The Lions fierce, the poysnous Asp Thy feet shall [safely] trample on; The Lions whelps, the Dragons rage, By [conquering] grace thou shalt tread down.
