Intro: D

Verse 1

  G                                DM7/F#

You who dwell in the shelter of the Lord,

              G                              DM7/F#

Who abide in His shadow for life,

F                             Dm                 F           Gm   Asus-A7

Say to the Lord: "My refuge, my rock in whom I trust!"

Antiphon:

                     D                        

And He will raise you up on eagle's wings;

Em                      A7

bear you on the breath of dawn

D                 D7                   G-Em

Make you to shine like the sun  

A      Dm       F#m  Em-A7          A

and hold you in the palm of His hand

Verse 2 (Verse 1 Chords)

The snare of the fowler will never capture you

And famine will bring you no fear

Under His wings you refuge, His faithfulness your shield.]

Verse 3 (Verse 1 Chords)

You need not fear the terror of the night

Nor the arrow that flies by day. 

Though thousands fall about you,

Near you it shall not come

Verse 4 (Verse 1 Chords)

For to His angels He's given a command

To guard you in all of your ways

Upon their hands they will bear you up,

Lest you dash your foot against a stone.

Coda:

A        Bm        F#m                Em-A7          D

And hold you, hold you in the palm of His hand
