¹One who dwells in the hiding place of the Most High will lodge in the shadow of the Almighty.

²I will say to Yahweh: my refuge and my stronghold, my God, in whom I trust.

³For he will deliver you from the snare of the fowler, from the pestilence of ruin.

⁴With his pinion he will cover you, and under his wings you will take refuge; his faithfulness is a shield and a buckler.

⁵You will not be afraid of the dread of night, of the arrow that flies by day.

⁶Nor of the plague that walks in darkness, nor of the destruction that devastates at noon.

⁷A thousand will fall at your side, and ten thousand at your right hand; it will not draw near to you.

⁸You will only look with your eyes, and you will see the retribution of the wicked.

⁹For you, Yahweh, are my refuge; you have made the Most High your dwelling place.

¹⁰No evil will be allowed to meet you, and no plague will draw near your tent.

¹¹For he will command his messengers concerning you, to guard you in all your ways.

¹²On their palms they will lift you up, lest your foot strike against a stone.

¹³You will tread on the lion and the cobra; you will trample the young lion and the serpent.

¹⁴Because he loves me, I will bring him to safety; I will set him on high, because he knows my name.

¹⁵He will call out to me, and I will answer him; I will be with him in distress; I will deliver him and I will honor him.

¹⁶With the length of days I will satisfy him, and I will show him my deliverance.
