1
He who dwells in 1the shelter of the Most High will abide in 2the shadow of the Almighty.
2
I will say to the LORD, "My 3refuge and my 4fortress, my God, in whom I 5trust."
3
For he will deliver you from 6the snare of the fowler and from the deadly pestilence.
4
He will 7cover you with his pinions, and under his 8wings you will 9find refuge; his 10faithfulness is 11a shield and buckler.
5
12You will not fear 13the terror of the night, nor the arrow that flies by day,
6
nor the pestilence that stalks in darkness, nor the destruction that wastes at noonday.
7
A thousand may fall at your side, ten thousand at your right hand, but it will not come near you.
8
You will only look with your eyes and 14see the recompense of the wicked.
9
Because you have made the LORD your 15dwelling place-- the Most High, who is my 16refuge--
10
17no evil shall be allowed to befall you, 18no plague come near your tent.
11
19For he will command his 20angels concerning you to 21guard you in all your ways.
12
On their hands they will bear you up, lest you 22strike your foot against a stone.
13
You will tread on 23the lion and the 24adder; the young lion and 25the serpent you will 26trample underfoot.
14
"Because he 27holds fast to me in love, I will deliver him; I will protect him, because he 28knows my name.
15
When he 29calls to me, I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble; I will rescue him and 30honor him.
16
With 31long life I will satisfy him and 32show him my salvation."
