My God, in whom I trust. ³ For he will deliver thee from the snare of the fowler,
And from the deadly pestilence. ⁴ He will cover thee with his pinions,
And under his wings shalt thou take refuge:
His truth is a shield and a buckler. ⁵ Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night,
Nor for the arrow that flieth by day; ⁶ For the pestilence that walketh in darkness,
Nor for the destruction that wasteth at noonday. ⁷ A thousand shall fall at thy side,
And ten thousand at thy right hand;

And see the reward of the wicked. ⁹ For thou, O Jehovah, art my refuge!

Neither shall any plague come nigh thy tent. ¹¹ For he will give his angels charge over thee,
To keep thee in all thy ways. ¹² They shall bear thee up in their hands,
Lest thou dash thy foot against a stone. ¹³ Thou shalt tread upon the lion and adder:

And show him my salvation.

²⁴ Because I have called, and ye have refused;
I have stretched out my hand, and no man hath regarded; ²⁵ But ye have set at nought all my counsel,
And would none of my reproof: ²⁶ I also will laugh in [the day of] your calamity;
I will mock when your fear cometh; ²⁷ When your fear cometh as a storm,
And your calamity cometh on as a whirlwind;
When distress and anguish come upon you. ²⁸ Then will they call upon me, but I will not answer;
They will seek me diligently, but they shall not find me: ²⁹ For that they hated knowledge,
And did not choose the fear of Jehovah: ³⁰ They would none of my counsel;
They despised all my reproof. ³¹ Therefore shall they eat of the fruit of their own way,
And be filled with their own devices. ³² For the backsliding of the simple shall slay them,
And the careless ease of fools shall destroy them. ³³ But whoso hearkeneth unto me shall dwell securely,
And shall be quiet without fear of evil.

And wouldest thou have no fear of the power? do that which is good, and thou shalt have praise from the same: ⁴ for he is a minister of God to thee for good. But if thou do that which is evil, be afraid; for he beareth not the sword in vain: for he is a minister of God, an avenger for wrath to him that doeth evil. ⁵ Wherefore [ye] must needs be in subjection, not only because of the wrath, but also for conscience' sake. ⁶ For this cause ye pay tribute also; for they are ministers of God's service, attending continually upon this very thing. ⁷ Render to all their dues: tribute to whom tribute [is due]; custom to whom custom; fear to whom fear; honor to whom honor.
⁸ Owe no man anything, save to love one another: for he that loveth his neighbor hath fulfilled the law. ⁹ For this, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not kill, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not covet, and if there be any other commandment, it is summed up in this word, namely, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself. ¹⁰ Love worketh no ill to his neighbor: love therefore is the fulfilment of the law.
¹¹ And this, knowing the season, that already it is time for you to awake out of sleep: for now is salvation nearer to us than when we [first] believed. ¹² The night is far spent, and the day is at hand: let us therefore cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armor of light. ¹³ Let us walk becomingly, as in the day; not in revelling and drunkenness, not in chambering and wantonness, not in strife and jealousy. ¹⁴ But put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make not provision for the flesh, to [fulfil] the lusts [thereof].
