| 1. | He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High, who abides in the shadow of the Almighty, |
| 2. | will say to the LORD, "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 pinions, and under his wings you will find refuge; his faithfulness is a shield and buckler. |
| 5. | You will not fear the terror of the night, nor the arrow that flies by day, |
| 6. | nor the pestilence that stalks in darkness, nor the destruction that wastes at noonday. |
| 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 look with your eyes and see the recompense of the wicked. |
| 9. | Because you have made the LORD your refuge, the Most High your habitation, |
| 10. | no evil shall befall you, no scourge come near your tent. |
| 11. | For he will give his angels charge of you to guard you in all your ways. |
| 12. | On their hands they will bear you up, lest you dash your foot against a stone. |
| 13. | You will tread on the lion and the adder, the young lion and the serpent you will trample under foot. |
| 14. | Because he cleaves to me in love, I will deliver him; I will protect him, because he knows my name. |
| 15. | When he calls to me, I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble, I will rescue him and honor him. |
| 16. | With long life I will satisfy him, and show him my salvation. |
