1 He who dwells in the shelter of the Most Highshall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.
2 I will say of the Lord, “He is my refuge and my fortress,my God in whom I trust.”
3 Surely He shall deliver you from the snare of the hunterand from the deadly pestilence.
4 He shall cover you with His feathers,and under His wings you shall find protection;His faithfulness shall be your shield and wall.
5 You shall not be afraid of the terror by night,nor of the arrow that flies by day;
6 nor of the pestilence that pursues in darkness,nor of the destruction that strikes at noonday.
7 A thousand may fall at your sideand ten thousand at your right hand,but it shall not come near you.
8 Only with your eyes shall you beholdand see the reward of the wicked.
9 Because you have made the Lord, who is my refuge,even the Most High, your dwelling,
10 there shall be no evil befall you,neither shall any plague come near your tent;
11 for He shall give His angels charge over youto guard you in all your ways.
12 They shall bear you up in their hands,lest you strike your foot against a stone.
13 You shall tread upon the lion and adder;the young lion and the serpent you shall trample underfoot.
14 Because he has set his love upon Me, therefore I will deliver him;I will set him on high, because he has known My name.
15 He shall call upon Me, and I will answer him;I will be with him in trouble,and I will deliver him and honor him.
16 With long life I will satisfy himand show him My salvation.
