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 it is He who delivers you from the snare of the trapper
And from the deadly pestilence. ⁴ He will cover you with His pinions,
And under His wings you may seek refuge;
His faithfulness is a shield and bulwark. ⁵ You will not be afraid of the terror by night,
Or of the arrow that flies by day; ⁶ Of the pestilence that stalks in darkness,
Or of the destruction that lays waste at noon. ⁷ A thousand may fall at your side
And ten thousand at your right hand,
But it shall not approach you. ⁸ You will only look on with your eyes
And see the recompense of the wicked. ⁹ For you have made the LORD, my refuge,
Even the Most High, your dwelling place. ¹⁰ No evil will befall you,
Nor will any plague come near your tent. ¹¹ For He will give His angels charge concerning you,
To guard you in all your ways. ¹² They will bear you up in their hands,
That you do not strike your foot against a stone. ¹³ You will tread upon the lion and cobra,
The young lion and the serpent you will trample down. ¹⁴ “Because he has loved Me, therefore I will deliver him;
I will set him securely on high, because he has known My name. ¹⁵ “He will call upon Me, and I will answer him;
I will be with him in trouble;
I will rescue him and honor him. ¹⁶ “With a long life I will satisfy him
And let him see My salvation.”
