| 1. | You who dwell in the shelter of the Most High, who abide in the shadow of the Almighty, |
| 2. | Say to the LORD, "My refuge and fortress, my God in whom I trust." |
| 3. | God will rescue you from the fowler's snare, from the destroying plague, |
| 4. | Will shelter you with pinions, spread wings that you may take refuge; God's faithfulness is a protecting shield. |
| 5. | You shall not fear the terror of the night nor the arrow that flies by day, |
| 6. | Nor the pestilence that roams in darkness, nor the plague that ravages at noon. |
| 7. | Though a thousand fall at your side, ten thousand at your right hand, near you it shall not come. |
| 8. | You need simply watch; the punishment of the wicked you will see. |
| 9. | You have the LORD for your refuge; you have made the Most High your stronghold. |
| 10. | No evil shall befall you, no affliction come near your tent. |
| 11. | For God commands the angels to guard you in all your ways. |
| 12. | With their hands they shall support you, lest you strike your foot against a stone. |
| 13. | You shall tread upon the asp and the viper, trample the lion and the dragon. |
| 14. | Whoever clings to me I will deliver; whoever knows my name I will set on high. |
| 15. | All who call upon me I will answer; I will be with them in distress; I will deliver them and give them honor. |
| 16. | With length of days I will satisfy them and show them my saving power. |
