²⁶ For the Lord will be your hope, and will keep your foot from being taken in the net.

⁹ He will keep the feet of his holy ones, but the evil-doers will come to their end in the dark night, for by strength no man will overcome.

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

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.

²⁶ For him in whose heart is the fear of the Lord there is strong hope: and his children will have a safe place.

¹⁷ For though the fig-tree has no flowers, and there is no fruit on the vine, and work on the olive comes to nothing, and the fields give no food; and the flock is cut off from its resting-place, and there is no herd in the cattle-house:

¹⁸ Still, I will be glad in the Lord, my joy will be in the God of my salvation.
