Reflections and Prayers for Wartime
CHAPTER XII
Occasional Prayers
PSALM 90
The Good Soldier's Trust and Confidence in God
(...Continued)
...Because thou, O Lord, art my hope: thou hast made the most High thy refuge.
There shall no evil come to thee: nor shall the scourge come near thy dwelling.
For he hath given his angels charge over thee; to keep thee in all thy ways.
In their hands they shall bear thee up: lest thou dash thy foot against a stone.
Thou shalt walk upon the asp and the basilisk; and thou shalt trample under foot the lion and the dragon.
Because he hoped in me I will deliver him: I will protect him because he hath known my name.
He shall cry to me, and I will hear him: I am with him in tribulation.
I will deliver him, and I will glorify him.
I will fill him with length of days; and I will shew him my salvation.
