Deliver thyself as a roe from the hand of the hunter, And as a bird from the hand of the fowler.
Surely he shall deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, And from the noisome pestilence.
Our soul is escaped as a bird out of the snare of the fowlers: The snare is broken, and we are escaped.
Surely in vain the net is spread In the sight of any bird.
In the LORD put I my trust: How say ye to my soul, flee as a bird to your mountain?
I charge you, O ye daughters of Jerusalem, By the roes, and by the hinds of the field, That ye stir not up, nor awake my love, Till he please.
My beloved is like a roe Or a young hart: Behold, he standeth Behind our wall, He looketh forth at the windows, Shewing himself through the lattice.
