1 ¶ He that dwells in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.

2 I will say of the LORD, He is my hope and my fortress: my God; in him will I secure myself.

3 S urely he shall deliver thee from the snare of the fowler and from the mortal pestilence.

4 H e shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings thou shalt be secure: his truth shall be thy shield and buckler.

5 T hou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night, nor for the arrow that flies by day,

6 n or for the pestilence that walks in darkness, nor for the destruction that wastes at noonday.

7 T housands shall fall at thy side and ten thousands at thy right hand, but it shall not come near thee.

8 S urely with thine eyes thou shalt behold and see the reward of the wicked.

9 ¶ Because thou hast made the LORD, who is my hope, even the most High, thy habitation,

10 n o evil shall befall thee, neither shall any plague come near thy dwelling.

11 F or he shall give his angels charge over thee to keep thee in all thy ways.

12 T hey shall bear thee up in their hands lest thy foot stumble against a stone.

13 T hou shalt tread upon the lion and adder; the young lion and the dragon shalt thou trample under feet.

14 B ecause he has set his will upon me, therefore I will deliver him; I will set him on high because he has 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 glorify him.

16 W ith long life I will satisfy him and show him my saving health.
