Psalm 91:1-12: "1 He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High will abide in the shadow of the Almighty. 2 I will say to the LORD, 'My refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust.' 3 For he will deliver you from the snare of the fowler and from the deadly pestilence. 4 He will cover you with his pinions, and under his wings you will find refuge; his faithfulness is a shield and buckler. 5 You will not fear the terror of the night, nor the arrow that flies by day, 6 nor the pestilence that stalks in darkness, nor the destruction that wastes at noonday.
"7 A thousand may fall at your side, ten thousand at your right hand, but it will not come near you. 8 You will only look with your eyes and see the recompense of the wicked.
"9 Because you have made the LORD your dwelling place - the Most High, who is my refuge - 10 no evil shall be allowed to befall you, no plague come near your tent. 11 For he will command his angels concerning you to guard you in all your ways. 12 On their hands they will bear you up, lest you strike your foot against a stone. 13 You will tread on the lion and the adder; the young lion and the serpent you will trample underfoot.
"14 'Because he holds fast to me in love, I will deliver him; I will protect him, because he knows my name. 15 When he calls to me, I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble; I will rescue him and honor him. 16 With long life I will satisfy him and show him my salvation.'"
Psalm 103:5: "who satisfies you with good so that your youth is renewed like the eagle's"

The hymn's verses paraphrase Psalm 91. The first verse is from Psalm 91:1-2; the second from 3-4; the third from 5-7 (and possibly also verse 10); and the fourth from 11-12.
Psalm 103:5 seems to appear in the refrain, although Isaiah 40:31 is also similar: "but they who wait for the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles; they shall run and not be weary; they shall walk and not faint." The line "Make you to shine like the sun" in the refrain seems to refer to part of Matthew 13:43: "'Then the righteous will shine like the sun in the kingdom of their Father.'"
