Rh :There shall no evil befall thee,
 * Neither shall any plague come nigh thy tent.


 * For He will give His angels charge over thee,
 * To keep thee in all thy ways.
 * They shall bear thee upon their hands,
 * Lest thou dash thy foot against a stone.
 * Thou shalt tread upon the lion and asp;
 * The young lion and the serpent shalt thou trample under feet.


 * 'Because he hath set his love upon Me, therefore will I deliver him;
 * I will set him on high, because he hath known My name.
 * He shall call upon Me, and I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble;
 * I will rescue him, and bring him to honour.
 * With long life will I satisfy him,
 * And make Him to behold My salvation.'

 * And to sing praises unto Thy name, O Most High;
 * To declare Thy lovingkindness in the morning,
 * And Thy faithfulness in the night seasons,
 * With an instrument of ten strings, and with the psaltery;
 * With a solemn sound upon the harp.


 * For Thou,, hast made me glad through Thy work;
 * I will exult in the works of Thy hands.
 * How great are Thy works, O !
 * Thy thoughts are very deep.
 * A brutish man knoweth not,
 * Neither doth a fool understand this.
 * When the wicked spring up as the grass,

 * But Thou, O, art on high for evermore.
 * For, lo, Thine enemies, O ,
 * For, lo, Thine enemies shall perish:
 * All the workers of iniquity shall be scattered.
 * But my horn hast Thou exalted like the horn of the wild-ox;
 * I am anointed with rich oil.
 * Mine eye also hath gazed on them that lie in wait for me,
 * Mine ears have heard my desire of the evil-doers that rise up against me.


 * The righteous shall flourish like the palm-tree;
 * He shall grow like a cedar in Lebanon.
 * Planted in the house of the ,
 * They shall flourish in the courts of our God.
 * They shall still bring forth fruit in old age;
 * They shall be full of sap and richness;
 * To declare that the is upright,
 * My Rock, in whom there is no unrighteousness.


 * The reigneth; He is clothed in majesty;
 * The is clothed, He hath girded Himself with strength;
