¹⁹ He will keep you safe from six troubles, and in seven no evil will come near you.

¹⁹ Great are the troubles of the upright: but the Lord takes him safely out of them all.

¹⁶ For an upright man, after falling seven times, will get up again: but trouble is the downfall of the evil.

¹³ You have been put to no test but such as is common to man: and God is true, who will not let any test come on you which you are not able to undergo; but he will make with the test a way out of it, so that you may be able to go through it.

³ He will take you out of the bird-net, and keep you safe from wasting disease.

⁴ You will be covered by his feathers; under his wings you will be safe: his good faith will be your salvation.

⁵ You will have no fear of the evil things of the night, or of the arrow in flight by day,

⁶ Or of the disease which takes men in the dark, or of the destruction which makes waste when the sun is high.

⁷ You will see a thousand falling by your side, and ten thousand at your right hand; but it will not come near you.

⁸ Only with your eyes will you see the reward of the evil-doers.

⁹ Because you have said, I am in the hands of the Lord, the Most High is my safe resting-place;

¹⁰ No evil will come on you, and no disease will come near your tent.

⁸ For it is our desire that you may not be without knowledge of our trouble which came on us in Asia, that the weight of it was very great, more than our power, so that it seemed that we had no hope even of life:

⁹ The Lord is able to keep the upright safe in the time of testing, and to keep evil-doers under punishment till the day of judging;
