1 He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High Shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. |
2 I will say of the LORD, "He is my refuge and my fortress; My God, in Him I will trust." |
3 Surely He shall deliver you from the snare of the fowler And from the perilous pestilence. |
4 He shall cover you with His feathers, And under His wings you shall take refuge; His truth shall be your shield and buckler. |
5 You shall not be afraid of the terror by night, Nor of the arrow that flies by day, |
6 Nor of the pestilence that walks in darkness, Nor of the destruction that lays waste at noonday. |
7 A thousand may fall at your side, And ten thousand at your right hand; But it shall not come near you. |
8 Only with your eyes shall you look, And see the reward of the wicked. |
9 Because you have made the LORD, who is my refuge, Even the Most High, your dwelling place, |
10 No evil shall befall you, Nor shall any plague come near your dwelling; |
11 For He shall give His angels charge over you, To keep you in all your ways. |
12 In their hands they shall bear you up, Lest you dash your foot against a stone. |
13 You shall tread upon the lion and the cobra, The young lion and the serpent you shall trample underfoot. |
14 "Because he has set his love upon Me, therefore I will deliver him; I will set him on high, because he has known My name. |
15 He shall call upon Me, and I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble; I will deliver him and honor him. |
16 With long life I will satisfy him, And show him My salvation." |
