1 H e that dwelleth in the secret place of the Most High Shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.

2 I will say of Jehovah, He is my refuge and my fortress; My God, in whom I trust.

3 F or he will deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, And from the deadly pestilence.

4 H e will cover thee with his pinions, And under his wings shalt thou take refuge: His truth is a shield and a buckler.

5 T hou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night, Nor for the arrow that flieth by day;

6 F or the pestilence that walketh in darkness, Nor for the destruction that wasteth at noonday.

7 A thousand shall fall at thy side, And ten thousand at thy right hand; But it shall not come nigh thee.

8 O nly with thine eyes shalt thou behold, And see the reward of the wicked.

9 F or thou, O Jehovah, art my refuge! Thou hast made the Most High thy habitation;

10 T here shall no evil befall thee, Neither shall any plague come nigh thy tent.

11 F or he will give his angels charge over thee, To keep thee in all thy ways.

12 T hey shall bear thee up in their hands, Lest thou dash thy foot against a stone.

13 T hou shalt tread upon the lion and adder: The young lion and the serpent shalt thou trample under foot.

14 B ecause he hath set his love upon me, therefore will I deliver him: I will set him on high, because he hath known my name.

15 H e shall call upon me, and I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble: I will deliver him, and honor him.

16 W ith long life will I satisfy him, And show him my salvation.
