91 (2) | Psalm 91 Version 2 | LM | |
HE who has made his refuge God Shall find a most secure abode, Shall walk all day beneath His shade, And there, at night, shall rest his head. |
|||
2 | Then will I say, ‘My God, Thy power Shall be my fortress and my tower: I, that am formed of feeble dust, Make Thine almighty arm my trust.’ |
||
3 | Thrice happy one! my maker’s care Shall keep me from the tempter’s snare; The tempter, Satan, who betrays Unguarded souls a thousand ways. |
||
4 | But if the fire, or plague, or sword, Receive commission from the Lord To strike His saints among the rest, Even the pains of death are blest! |
||
5 | The sword, the pestilence, or fire, Shall but fulfil their best desire; From sins and sorrow set them free, And bring Thy children, Lord, to Thee. |
||
Isaac Watts, 1674-1748 |
