| 1 | He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty. | |
| 2 | I will say of the LORD, "He is my refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust." | |
| 3 | Surely he will save you from the fowler's snare and from the deadly pestilence. | |
| 4 | He will cover you with his feathers, and under his wings you will find refuge; his faithfulness will be your shield and rampart. | |
| 5 | You will not fear the terror of night, nor the arrow that flies by day, | |
| 6 | nor the pestilence that stalks in the darkness, nor the plague that destroys at midday. | |
| 7 | A thousand may fall at your side, ten thousand at your right hand, but it will not come near you. | |
| 8 | You will only observe with your eyes and see the punishment of the wicked. | |
| 9 | If you make the Most High your dwelling--even the LORD, who is my refuge-- | |
| 10 | then no harm will befall you, no disaster will come near your tent. | |
| 11 | For he will command his angels concerning you to guard you in all your ways; | |
| 12 | they will lift you up in their hands, so that you will not strike your foot against a stone. | |
| 13 | You will tread upon the lion and the cobra; you will trample the great lion and the serpent. | |
| 14 | "Because he loves me," says the LORD, "I will rescue him; I will protect him, for he acknowledges my name. | |
| 15 | He will 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 will I satisfy him and show him my salvation." | |
