1He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High Shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.

2I will say of the LORD, "He is my refuge and my fortress; My God, in Him I will trust."

3Surely He shall deliver you from the snare of the fowler And from the perilous pestilence.

4He shall cover you with His feathers, And under His wings you shall take refuge; His truth shall be your shield and buckler.

5You shall not be afraid of the terror by night, Nor of the arrow that flies by day,

6Nor of the pestilence that walks in darkness, Nor of the destruction that lays waste at noonday.

7A thousand may fall at your side, And ten thousand at your right hand; But it shall not come near you.

8Only with your eyes shall you look, And see the reward of the wicked.

9Because you have made the LORD, who is my refuge, Even the Most High, your dwelling place,

10No evil shall befall you, Nor shall any plague come near your dwelling;

11For He shall give His angels charge over you, To keep you in all your ways.

12In their hands they shall bear you up, Lest you dash your foot against a stone.

13You 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.

15He shall call upon Me, and I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble; I will deliver him and honor him.

16With long life I will satisfy him, And show him My salvation."
