^1. HE who dwells in the shelter of the Most High Will abide in the shadow of the Almighty.

^2. I will say to the LORD, �My refuge and my fortress, My God, in whom I trust!�

^3. For it is He who delivers you from the snare of the trapper And from the deadly pestilence.

^4. He will cover you with His pinions, And under His wings you may seek refuge; His faithfulness is a shield and bulwark.

^5. You will not be afraid of the terror by night, Or of the arrow that flies by day;

^6. Of the pestilence that [1] stalks in darkness, Or of the destruction that lays waste at noon.

^7. A thousand may fall at your side And ten thousand at your right hand, But it shall not approach you.

^8. You will only look on with your eyes And see the recompense of the wicked.

^9. [2] For you have made the LORD, my refuge, Even the Most High, your dwelling place.

^10. No evil will befall you, Nor will any plague come near your [3] tent.

^11. For He will give His angels charge concerning you, To guard you in all your ways.

^12. They will bear you up in their hands, That you do not strike your foot against a stone.

^13. You will tread upon the lion and cobra, The young lion and the [4] serpent you will trample down.

^14. � Because he has loved Me, therefore I will deliver him; I will set him securely on high, because he has known My name.

^15. �He will call upon Me, and I will answer him; I will be with him in [5] trouble; I will rescue him and honor him.

^16. �With [7] a long life I will satisfy him And [6] let him see My salvation.�
