[1] One who dwells in the shelter of the Most High Will lodge in the shadow of the Almighty. [2] I will say to the Lord, “My refuge and my fortress, My God, in whom I trust!” [3] For it is He who rescues you from the net of the trapper And from the deadly plague. [4] He will cover you with His pinions, And under His wings you may take refuge; His faithfulness is a shield and wall. [5] You will not be afraid of the terror by night, Or of the arrow that flies by day; [6] Of the plague that stalks in darkness, Or of the destruction that devastates at noon. [7] A thousand may fall at your side And ten thousand at your right hand, But it shall not approach you. [8] You will only look on with your eyes And see the retaliation against the wicked. [9] For you have made the Lord, my refuge, The Most High, your dwelling place. [10] No evil will happen to you, Nor will any plague come near your tent. [11] For He will give His angels orders concerning you, To protect you in all your ways. [12] On their hands they will lift you up, So that you do not strike your foot against a stone. [13] You will walk upon the lion and cobra, You will trample the young lion and the serpent. [14] “Because he has loved Me, I will save him; I will set him securely on high, because he has known My name. [15] “He will call upon Me, and I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble; I will rescue him and honor him. [16] “I will satisfy him with a long life, And show him My salvation.”
