1
He who lives in the shelter of the Most High
will stay in the shadow of the Almighty.
2
I will say of Yahweh, "He is my refuge and my fortress,
my God, in whom I trust."
3
For he will rescue you
from the snare of the hunter
and from the destructive plague.
4
He will cover you with his wings,
and under his wings you will find refuge.
His faithfulness is a shield and protection.
5
You will not be afraid of terror in the night,
or of the arrow that flies by day,
6
or of the plague that stalks in the darkness,
or of the destruction that lays waste at noon.
7
A thousand may fall at your side
and ten thousand at your right hand,
but it will not reach you.
8
You will only observe
and see the punishment of the wicked.
9
For Yahweh is my refuge!
Make the Most High your refuge also.
10
No evil will overtake you;
no affliction will come near your tent.
11
For he will put his angels in charge over you,
to guard you in all your ways.
12
They will lift you up with their hand
so that you will not hit your foot on a stone.
13
You will crush lions and asps under your feet;
you will trample on young lions and serpents.
14
Because he delights in me, I will rescue him.
I will protect him because he acknowledges my name.
15
When he calls to me, I will answer him.
I will be with him in trouble;
I will give him victory and will honor him.
16
I will satisfy him with the length of his days,
and show him my salvation.
