- 1
- He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty.
- 2
- I will say of Yahweh, "He is my refuge and my fortress; my God, in whom I trust."
- 3
- For he will deliver you from the snare of the fowler, and from the deadly pestilence.
- 4
- He will cover you with his feathers. Under his wings you will take refuge. His faithfulness is your shield and rampart.
- 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 wastes at noonday.
- 7
- A thousand may fall at your side, and ten thousand at your right hand; but it will not come near you.
- 8
- You will only look with your eyes, and see the recompense of the wicked.
- 9
- Because you have made Yahweh your refuge, and the Most High your dwelling place,
- 10
- no evil shall happen to you, neither shall any plague come near your dwelling.
- 11
- For he will put his angels in charge of you, to guard you in all your ways.
- 12
- They will bear you up in their hands, so that you won't dash your foot against a stone.
- 13
- You will tread on the lion and cobra. You will trample the young lion and the serpent underfoot.
- 14
- "Because he has set his love on me, therefore I will deliver him. I will set him on high, because he has known my name.
- 15
- He will call on me, and I will answer him. I will be with him in trouble. I will deliver him, and honor him.
- 16
- I will satisfy him with long life, and show him my salvation."
