Chapter 1: Little House in the Big Woods

Patti Hunt © 2009

1 He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High        will rest in the shadow of the Almighty.  2 I will say of the LORD, "He is my refuge and my fortress,        my God, in whom I trust."  3 Surely he will save you from the fowler's snare        and from the deadly pestilence.  4 He will cover you with his feathers,        and under his wings you will find refuge;        his faithfulness will be your shield and rampart.

 5 You will not fear the terror of night,        nor the arrow that flies by day,  6 nor the pestilence that stalks in the darkness,        nor the plague that destroys at midday.  7 A thousand may fall at your side,        ten thousand at your right hand,        but it will not come near you.  8 You will only observe with your eyes        and see the punishment of the wicked.

 9 If you make the Most High your dwelling—        even the LORD, who is my refuge-  10 then no harm will befall you,        no disaster will come near your tent.  11 For he will command his angels concerning you        to guard you in all your ways;  12 they will lift you up in their hands,        so that you will not strike your foot against a stone.  13 You will tread upon the lion and the cobra;        you will trample the great lion and the serpent.

 14 "Because he loves me," says the LORD, "I will rescue him;        I will protect him, for he acknowledges my name.  15 He will call upon me, and I will answer him;        I will be with him in trouble,        I will deliver him and honor him.  16 With long life will I satisfy him        and show him my salvation.“
