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.”
