5 T hen hath Jehovah prepared Over every fixed place of Mount Zion, And over her convocations, A cloud by day, and smoke, And the shining of a flaming fire by night, That, over all honour a safe-guard,

then the Lord will create over the whole area of Mount Zion and over her assemblies a cloud by day, even smoke, and the brightness of a flaming fire by night; for over all the glory will be a canopy.

6 A nd a covering may be, For a shadow by day from drought, And for a refuge, and for a hiding place, From inundation and from rain!

There will be a shelter to give shade from the heat by day, and refuge and protection from the storm and the rain.
