| 1 He that dwelleth in the secret place of the Most High, Under the shadow of the Almighty, will tarry, |
The secret place of the Most High – "The place of intimate communion and fellowship with God, through the blessed privilege of prayer and through faith in His precious Word and His promised providential care." R1788:2
Pictures "The Holy Place" It is "represented by the holy place in the typical tabernacle." R1913
Pictures "The Most Holy"
Is pictured by the Most Holy. R1432; R3331:
Pictures "The Holy" R4925; R5989 This one is clearer as it covers both. R5815
In the above citations we do note that in the later ones Br. Russell always referred to this "secret place of the Most High" where the saints dwell now as being "The Holy."
The Most Holy is also "the secret place of the Most High" and will be the permanent dwelling place of the saints throughout eternity, but for those saints still running the race the "secret place" is The Holy. - See Heb. 6:19 where Paul reminds that our hope reaches to that within the veil (into the Most Holy.) |
| 2 Saying of Yahweh–My refuge and my fortress, My God, in whom I will trust. |
|
| 3 For, he, will rescue thee, From the snare of the fowler, From the destructive pestilence. |
|
| 4 With his pinion, will he cover thee, And, under his wings, shalt thou seek refuge, A shield and buckler, is his faithfulness. |
|
| 5 Thou shalt not be afraid, Of the dread of the night, Of the arrow that flieth by day; |
|
| 6 Of the pestilence that, in darkness, doth walk, Of the plague that layeth waste at noonday. |
|
| 7 There shall fall, at thy side, a thousand, Yea, myriads, at thy right hand, Unto thee, shall it not come nigh; |
|
| 8 Save only, with thine own eyes, shalt thou discern, And, the recompense of the lawless, shalt thou see. |
|

|
| 9 Because, thou, [hast made] Yahweh, my refuge,–The Most High, thou hast made thy dwelling-place, |
|
| 10 There shall not be sent unto thee misfortune, Nor shall, plague, come near into thy tent; |
|
| 11 For, his messengers, will he charge concerning thee, To keep thee, in all thy ways; |
|
| 12 On hands, will they bear thee up, Lest thou strike, against a stone, thy foot; |
|
| 13 On the lion and adder, shalt thou tread, Shalt trample on young lion and crocodile. |
|
| 14 Because, on me, he hath set firm his love, Therefore will I deliver him, I will set him on high, Because he hath known my Name; |
|
| 15 He shall call me, and I will answer him, With him, will, I, be, in distress, I will rescue him, and will honour him; |
|
| 16 With length of days, will I satisfy him, And will show him my salvation. |
