1 HE that dwelleth 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 thee from the snare of the fowler, and from the noisome pestilence. | |
4 He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt thou trust: his truth shall be thy shield and buckler. | |
5 Thou 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. | |
7 A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand; but it shall not come nigh thee. | |
8 Only with thine eyes shalt thou behold and see the reward of the wicked. | |
9 Because thou hast made the LORD, which is my refuge, even the most High, thy habitation; | |
10 There shall no evil befall thee, neither shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling. | |
11 For he shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways. | |
12 They shall bear thee up in their hands, lest thou dash thy foot against a stone. | |
13 Thou shalt tread upon the lion and adder: the young lion and the dragon shalt thou trample under feet. | |
14 Because he hath set his love upon me, therefore will I deliver him: I will set him on high, because he hath known my name. | |
15 He shall call upon me, and I will answer him: I will be with him in trouble; I will deliver him, and honour him. | |
16 With long life will I satisfy him, and shew him my salvation. | |
