Shall abide under the shadow of | the | Al- | might- | y. -
|| I will say of the Lord, “He is my refuge and my | for- | tress; | My | God, *
In | Him | I | will | trust.” -
|| Because you have made the Lord, who | is | my | re- | fuge, *
Even the Most High, | your | dwell- | ing | place, -
|| No evil | shall | be- | fall | you, *
Nor shall any plague come | near | your | dwell- | ing.-

The young lion and the serpent you shall tram- | ple | un- | der- | foot. - (Psalm 91:1–2, 9–10, 13)
