He will rescue you from six calamities; no harm will touch you in seven.In famine he will redeem you from death, and in battle, from the power of the sword.You will be safe from slander and not fear destruction when it comes.You will laugh at destruction and hunger and not fear the land’s wild creatures.For you will have a covenant with the stones of the field, and the wild animals will be at peace with you.You will know that your tent is secure, and nothing will be missing when you inspect your home.You will also know that your offspring will be many and your descendants like the grass of the earth.You will approach the grave in full vigor, as a stack of sheaves is gathered in its season.We have investigated this, and it is true! Hear it and understand it for yourself.
