>He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High >Shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. >I will say of the Lord, “He is my refuge and my fortress; >My God, in Him I will trust.”
>Surely He shall deliver you from the snare of the fowler >And from the perilous pestilence. >He shall cover you with His feathers, >And under His wings you shall take refuge; >His truth shall be your shield and buckler. >You shall not be afraid of the terror by night, >Nor of the arrow that flies by day, >Nor of the pestilence that walks in darkness, >Nor of the destruction that lays waste at noonday.
>A thousand may fall at your side, >And ten thousand at your right hand; >But it shall not come near you. >Only with your eyes shall you look, >And see the reward of the wicked.
>Because you have made the Lord, who is my refuge, >Even the Most High, your dwelling place, >No evil shall befall you, >Nor shall any plague come near your dwelling; >For He shall give His angels charge over you, >To keep you in all your ways. >In their hands they shall bear you up, >Lest you dash your foot against a stone. >You shall tread upon the lion and the cobra, >The young lion and the serpent you shall trample underfoot.
>“Because he has set his love upon Me, therefore I will deliver him; >I will set him on high, because he has known My name. >He shall call upon Me, and I will answer him; >I will be with him in trouble; >I will deliver him and honor him. >With long life I will satisfy him, >And show him My salvation.”
