He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty. 1
I will say of the LORD, "He is my refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust." 2
Surely he will save you from the fowler's snare and from the deadly pestilence. 3
He will cover you with his feathers, and under his wings you will find refuge; his faithfulness will be your shield and rampart. 4
You will not fear the terror of night, nor the arrow that flies by day, 5
nor the pestilence that stalks in the darkness, nor the plague that destroys at midday. 6
A thousand may fall at your side, ten thousand at your right hand, but it will not come near you. 7
You will only observe with your eyes and see the punishment of the wicked. 8
If you make the Most High your dwelling, even the LORD, who is my refuge- 9
then no harm will befall you, no disaster will come near your tent. 10
For he will command his angels concerning you to guard you in all your ways; 11
they will lift you up in their hands, so that you will not strike your foot against a stone. 12
You will tread upon the lion and the cobra; you will trample the great lion and the serpent. 13
"Because he loves me," says the LORD, "I will rescue him; I will protect him, for he acknowledges my name. 14
He will call upon me, and I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble, I will deliver him and honor him. 15
With long life will I satisfy him and show him my salvation." 16
