4 He will cover you with his wings. Under the feathers of his wings you will find safety. He is faithful. He will keep you safe like a shield or a tower.
5 You won't have to be afraid of the terrors that come during the night. You won't have to fear the arrows that come at you during the day.
6 You won't have to be afraid of the sickness that attacks in the darkness. You won't have to fear the plague that destroys at noon.
7 A thousand may fall dead at your side. Ten thousand may fall near your right hand. But no harm will come to you.
8 You will see with your own eyes how God punishes sinful people.
9 The Lord is the one who keeps you safe. So let the Most High God be like a home to you.
10 Then no harm will come to you. No terrible plague will come near your tent.
