[1] Whoever lives under the shelter of the Most High will remain in the shadow of the Almighty. [2] I will say to the LORD, "You are my refuge and my fortress, my God in whom I trust." [3] He is the one who will rescue you from hunters' traps and from deadly plagues. [4] He will cover you with his feathers, and under his wings you will find refuge. His truth is your shield and armor. [5] You do not need to fear terrors of the night, arrows that fly during the day, [6] plagues that roam the dark, epidemics that strike at noon. [7] They will not come near you, even though a thousand may fall dead beside you or ten thousand at your right side. [8] You only have to look with your eyes to see the punishment of wicked people. [9] You, O LORD, are my refuge! You have made the Most High your home. [10] No harm will come to you. No sickness will come near your house. [11] He will put his angels in charge of you to protect you in all your ways. [12] They will carry you in their hands so that you never hit your foot against a rock. [13] You will step on lions and cobras. You will trample young lions and snakes. [14] Because you love me, I will rescue you. I will protect you because you know my name. [15] When you call to me, I will answer you. I will be with you when you are in trouble. I will save you and honor you. [16] I will satisfy you with a long life. I will show you how I will save you.
