ST. LOUIS — Andy Williams, the silky-voiced, clean-cut crooner, whose hit recording “Moon River” and years of popular Christmas TV shows brought him fans the world over has died, his publicist said. He was 84.
Williams died Tuesday night at his home in Branson following a yearlong battle with bladder cancer, his Los Angeles-based publicist, Paul Shefrin, said Wednesday.

He continued to perform even after announcing his bladder cancer diagnosis in 2011.
Williams is survived by his wife, Debbie, and his three children, Robert, Noelle and Christian.

The Psalms

91

Abiding in the Shadow of the Almighty

1

He that dwelleth in the secret place of the Most High

shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.

2

I will say of the LORD,

He is my refuge and my fortress:

my God; in him will I trust.

3

Surely he shall deliver thee from the snare of the fowler,

and from the noisome pestilence.

4

He shall cover thee with his feathers,

and under his wings shalt thou trust:

his truth shall be thy shield and buckler.

5

Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night;

nor for the arrow that flieth by day;

6

nor for the pestilence that walketh in darkness;

nor for the destruction that wasteth at noonday.

7

A thousand shall fall at thy side,

and ten thousand at thy right hand;

but it shall not come nigh thee.

8

Only with thine eyes shalt thou behold

and see the reward of the wicked.

9

Because thou hast made the LORD, which is my refuge,

even the Most High, thy habitation;

10

there shall no evil befall thee,

neither shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling.

11

For he shall give his angels charge over thee, Mt. 4.6 · Lk. 4.10

to keep thee in all thy ways.

12

They shall bear thee up in their hands,

lest thou dash thy foot against a stone. Mt. 4.6 · Lk. 4.11

13

Thou shalt tread upon the lion and adder:

the young lion and the dragon shalt thou trample under feet. Lk. 10.19

14

Because he hath set his love upon me, therefore will I deliver him:

I will set him on high, because he hath known my name.

15

He shall call upon me, and I will answer him:

I will be with him in trouble;

I will deliver him, and honor him.

16

With long life will I satisfy him,

and show him my salvation.
