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