1 HE who dwells in the secret place ‖ of Him who's the most High, ‖ under the shadow he shall lodge ‖ of the Almighty One. ‖
2 I'll say to the ETERNAL God, ‖ Thou'rt my security, ‖ and thou'rt my tower, my God in whom ‖ I place my confidence. ‖
3 Surely He shall deliver thee ‖ out of the Fowler's snare; ‖ He shall deliver thee from the ‖ malignant pestilence. ‖
4 He with His wings shall cover thee; ‖ and thou shalt be secure ‖ under His wings; His truth shall be ‖ a buckler and a shield. ‖
