A PSALM FOR THE 4TH SUNDAY AFTER EPIPHANY
Whoso dwelleth under the defence of the Most
High, * shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.
2 I will say unto the Lord, Thou art my hope, and my stronghold; * my God, in him will I trust.
3 For he shall deliver me from the snare of the hunter, * and from the noisome pestilence.
4 He shall defend thee under his wings, * and thou shalt be safe under his feathers.
5 His faithfulness and truth shall be thy shield and buckler; * thou shalt not be afraid for any terror by night,
6 Nor for the arrow that flieth by day, for the pestilence that walketh in darkness, * nor for the sickness that destroyeth in the noon-day.
7 A thousand shall fall beside thee, and ten thousand at thy right hand; * but it shall not come nigh thee.
8 Yea, with thine eyes shalt thou behold, * and see the reward of the ungodly.
9 For thou, Lord, art my hope; * thou hast set thine house of defence very high.
10 There shall no evil happen unto thee, * neither shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling.
11 For he shall give his angels charge over thee, * to keep thee in all thy ways.
12 They shall bear thee in their hands, * that thou hurt not thy foot against a stone.
13 Thou shalt go upon the lion and adder: * the young lion and the dragon shalt thou tread under thy feet.
14 Because he hath set his love upon me, therefore will I deliver him; * I will set him up, because he hath known my Name.
15 He shall call upon me, and I will hear him; * yea, I am with him in trouble; I will deliver him, and bring him to honour.
16 With long life will I satisfy him, * and shew him my salvation.
Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, * and to the Holy Ghost.
As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.
