1He that dwelleth 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 will I trust.
3Surely he shall deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, [and] from the noisome pestilence.
4He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt thou trust: his truth [shall be thy] shield and buckler.
5Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night; [nor] for the arrow [that] flieth by day;
6[Nor] for the pestilence [that] walketh in darkness; [nor] for the destruction [that] wasteth at noonday.
7A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand; [but] it shall not come nigh thee.
8Only with thine eyes shalt thou behold and see the reward of the wicked.
9Because thou hast made the LORD, [which is] my refuge, [even] the most High, thy habitation;
10There shall no evil befall thee, neither shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling.
11For he shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways.
12They shall bear thee up in [their] hands, lest thou dash thy foot against a stone.
13Thou shalt tread upon the lion and adder: the young lion and the dragon shalt thou trample under feet.
14Because he hath set his love upon me, therefore will I deliver him: I will set him on high, because he hath 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 honour him.
16With long life will I satisfy him, and shew him my salvation.
