1 Whoever dwells in the shelter of the Most High
will rest in the
shadow of the Almighty.[a]
2 I will say of the Lord, “He is my refuge and my fortress,
my God, in whom I
trust.”
3 Surely he will save you
from the fowler’s
snare
and from the
deadly pestilence.
4 He will cover you with his feathers,
and under his
wings you will find refuge;
his faithfulness
will be your shield and rampart.
5 You will not fear the terror of night,
nor the arrow that
flies by day,
6 nor the pestilence that stalks in the darkness,
nor the plague
that destroys at midday.
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 observe with your eyes
and see the
punishment of the wicked.
9 If you say, “The Lord is my refuge,”
and you make the
Most High your dwelling,
10 no harm will overtake you,
no disaster will
come near your tent.
11 For he will command his angels concerning you
to guard you in
all your ways;
12 they will lift you up in their hands,
so that you will
not strike your foot against a stone.
13 You will tread on the lion and the cobra;
you will trample
the great lion and the serpent.
14 “Because he[b] loves me,” says the Lord, “I will rescue
him;
I will protect
him, for he acknowledges my name.
15 He will call on me, and I will answer him;
I will be with him
in trouble,
I will deliver him
and honor him.
16 With long life I will satisfy him
and show him my
salvation.”
