1He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High Shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.
2I will say of Yehovah, He is my refuge and my fortress; My God, in whom I trust.
3For he will deliver you from the snare of the fowler, And from the deadly pestilence.
4He will cover you with his pinions, And under his wings you shall take refuge: His truth is a shield and a buckler.
5You shall not be afraid for the terror by night, Nor for the arrow that flies by day;
6For the pestilence that walks in darkness, Nor for the destruction that wastes at noonday.
7A thousand shall fall at your side, And ten thousand at your right hand; But it shall not come near you.
8Only with your eyes you shall behold, And see the reward of the wicked.
9For you, O Yehovah, are my refuge! You have made the Most High your habitation;
10No evil shall befall you, Nor shall any plague come near your tent.
11For he will give his angels charge over you, To keep you in all your ways.
12They shall bear you up in their hands, Lest you dash your foot against a stone.
13You shall tread upon the lion and adder: The young lion and the serpent you shall trample underfoot.
14Because 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.
