“A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand; but it shall not come nigh thee.”
Safety amid general danger: "A thousand may fall at your side, ten thousand at your right hand, but it will not come near you." The vast numbers falling around emphasize the severity of the general peril while the protected one remains untouched. The specific numbers (thousand, ten thousand) suggest overwhelming threat.
