"Or of the disease which takes men in the dark, or of the destruction which makes waste when the sun is high."
— Psalms 91:6, Bible in Basic English
He will take you out of the bird-net, and keep you safe from wasting disease.
You will be covered by his feathers; under his wings you will be safe: his good faith will be your salvation.
You will have no fear of the evil things of the night, or of the arrow in flight by day,
Or of the disease which takes men in the dark, or of the destruction which makes waste when the sun is high.
You will see a thousand falling by your side, and ten thousand at your right hand; but it will not come near you.
Only with your eyes will you see the reward of the evil-doers.
Because you have said, I am in the hands of the Lord, the Most High is my safe resting-place;
