He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High
Will abide in the shadow of the Almighty.

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

“He will call upon Me, and I will answer him;
I will be with him in trouble;
I will rescue him and honor him.

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

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

I will say to the Lord, “My refuge and my fortress,
My God, in whom I trust!”

For you have made the Lord, my refuge,
Even the Most High, your dwelling place.

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

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

No evil will befall you,
Nor will any plague come near your tent.

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

“With a long life I will satisfy him
And let him see My salvation.”

You will tread upon the lion and cobra,
The young lion and the serpent you will trample down.

Of the pestilence that stalks in darkness,
Or of the destruction that lays waste at noon.

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

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