[1] He that dwells in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.
[2] I will say of the LORD, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God; in him will I trust.
[3] Surely he shall deliver you from the snare of the fowler, and from the noisome pestilence.
[4] He shall cover you with his feathers, and under his wings shall you trust: his truth shall be your shield and buckler.
[5] You shall not be afraid for the terror by night; nor for the arrow that flies by day;
[6] Nor for the pestilence that walks in darkness; nor for the destruction that wastes at noonday.
[7] A thousand shall fall at your side, and ten thousand at your right hand; but it shall not come near you.
[8] Only with your eyes shall you behold and see the reward of the wicked.
[9] Because you have made the LORD, which is my refuge, even the most High, your habitation;
[10] There shall no evil befall you, neither shall any plague come near your dwelling.
[11] For he shall give his angels charge over you, to keep you in all your ways.
[12] They shall bear you up in their hands, lest you dash your foot against a stone.
[13] You shall tread on the lion and adder: the young lion and the dragon shall you trample under feet.
[14] Because he has set his love on me, therefore will I deliver him: I will set him on high, because he has known my name.
[15] He shall 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 will I satisfy him, and show him my salvation.
