1 Whoever dwells in the secret place of the Most High will abide in the shadow of the Almighty.
2 I will say to the LORD, "My refuge and my stronghold, my God, in whom I put my trust."
3 For he will rescue you from the trap of the fowler, from the pestilence that destroys.
4 With his feathers he will cover you, and beneath his wings you will take shelter; his truth is shield and rampart.
5 You will not be afraid of terror by night or of the arrow that flies by day,
6 of pestilence that walks in the gloom, or of plague that ravages at midday.
7 A thousand will fall at your side, ten thousand at your right hand; to you it will not come near.
8 Only with your eyes you will look on and see the payback of the wicked.
9 For you, O LORD, are my refuge. The Most High you have made your dwelling;
10 no harm will happen to you, and no plague will approach your tent.
11 For he will give his angels charge over you, to keep you in all your ways.
12 On their hands they will carry you, so that you will not strike your foot on a stone.
13 On lion and adder you will tread; you will trample down young lion and serpent.
14 "Because he has clung to me in love, I will rescue him; I will lift him high, for he knows my name.
15 He will call me, and I will answer him; with him I will be in distress; I will deliver him and give him honor.
16 With long life I will satisfy him, and I will let him see my salvation."
