intendence which God exercises over His
creatures: an act or event in which the
providence and care Of God over His

fullest meaning Of Providence.

he that dweHeth in the secret place OF
the most high
Shall abide under the shadow Of the
Almighty.
I VIII say Of the Lord. He is my refuge
and my fortress;
Ny God, in whom I trust"
For He shall deliver thee from the snare
OF the fowler
And from the noisesome pestilence-
He shall cover thee with His pinions.
And under His wings shalt thou take
refuge;
His truth Is a shield and a buckler-
Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror
by night.
Nor for the arrow that fieth by day,
For the pestiIence that waIketh in
Ncr for the destruction that wasteth at
MONDAY.
A thousand shall fall at thy side.
And ten thousand az thy right hand;
But il shall not come nigh thee.
Only with thine eyes shalt thou behold,
And see the reward of the wicked
For Thou. o Lord, art my refugee"
Thou hast made the most high thy
habitation:
There shall no evI befaH thee.
Neither shall any plague come night thy
dwelling.
For He shall give His angels charge over
thee.
To keep thee IN all thy ways.
They shall bear thee Up IN their hands
Lest thou dash thy foot against a stone.
Thou shalt tread upon the lion and adder;
The young lion and the serpent shalt thou
trsmple under feet
Because he hath set his love upon me.
therefore viii deliver him.
VIII set him or high, because ne hath
known ny name.
He shall call upon ne. and viii answer
him.
I wiI be with him IN trouble:
I viii deliver him and honor him.
With long life viii I satisfy him,
And show him my salvation"
