¹HE who lives in the protection of the most High will stay under the shadow of the Almighty. ²I will say of Yahvah, He is my refuge and my fortress; my God; in him I will trust. ³Surely he will deliver you from the snare of the fowler, and from vain gossip. ⁴He will cover you with his feathers, and under his wings you will trust; his truth will be your shield and buckler. ⁵You will not be afraid for the terror by night, nor for the arrow that flies by day, ⁶Nor for the conspiracy that spreads in darkness; nor for the pestilence that wastes at noonday. ⁷1,000s will fall at your side, and 10,000 at your right hand; but it will not come near you. ⁸Only with your eyes will you see the reward of the wicked.

⁹For you, oh Yahvah, are my trust; you have established your habitation in the highest. ¹⁰No evil will befall you, nor will any plague come near your dwelling. ¹¹For he will give his angels charge over you to keep you in all your ways. ¹²They will bear you up in their hands, lest you dash your foot against a stone. ¹³You will tread on the viper and adder; you will trample under foot the lion and the great serpent. ¹⁴Because he has loved me, therefore I will deliver him; I will set him on high because he has known my name. ¹⁵He will call on me, and I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble; I will deliver him and honor him. ¹⁶With long life I will satisfy him, and show him my salvation.
