| 1 You who dwell in the shelter of the Most High, who rest in the shadow of the Almighty, | |
| 2 say to the Lord, “My stronghold, my refuge, my God in whom I trust!” | |
| 3 He will rescue you from the fowler’s snare and from the deadly pestilence. | |
| 4 He will cover you with his pinions and give you refuge under his wings. | |
| 5 You shall not fear the terror of the night nor the arrows that fly by day, | |
| 6 nor the pestilence that stalks by night, and the plague that destroys at noonday. | |
| 7 A thousand may fall at your side, ten thousand at your right hand, but nothing shall befall you, his faithfulness is your shield. | |
| 8 Open your eyes: you will see how the wicked are repaid. | |
| 9 If you have made the Lord your refuge, the Most High your stronghold, | |
| 10 no harm will come upon you, no disaster will draw near your home. | |
| 11 For he will command his angels to guard you in all your ways. | |
| 12 They will lift you up with their hands so that your foot will not hit a stone. | |
| 13 You will tread on wildcats and snakes and trample the lion and the dragon. | |
| 14 “Because they cling to me, I will rescue them,” says the Lord. “I will protect those who know my name. | |
| 15 When they call to me, I will answer; in time of trouble I will be with them; I will deliver and honor them. | |
| 16 I will satisfy them with long life and show them my salvation.” | |
