[1] As for you, the one who lives in the shelter of the Most High, and resides in the protective shadow of the Sovereign One- [2] I say this about the LORD, my shelter and my stronghold, my God in whom I trust- [3] he will certainly rescue you from the snare of the hunter and from the destructive plague. [4] He will shelter you with his wings; you will find safety under his wings. His faithfulness is like a shield or a protective wall. [5] You need not fear the terrors of the night, the arrow that flies by day, [6] the plague that stalks in the darkness, or the disease that ravages at noon. [7] Though a thousand may fall beside you, and a multitude on your right side, it will not reach you. [8] Certainly you will see it with your very own eyes-you will see the wicked paid back. [9] For you have taken refuge in the LORD, my shelter, the Most High. [10] No harm will overtake you; no illness will come near your home. [11] For he will order his angels to protect you in all you do. [12] They will lift you up in their hands, so you will not slip and fall on a stone. [13] You will subdue a lion and a snake; you will trample underfoot a young lion and a serpent. [14] The LORD says, "Because he is devoted to me, I will deliver him; I will protect him because he is loyal to me. [15] When he calls out to me, I will answer him. I will be with him when he is in trouble; I will rescue him and bring him honor. [16] I will satisfy him with long life, and will let him see my salvation."
