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 the Lord, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God; in him will I trust.

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

4 H e shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt thou trust: 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 flieth by day;

6 N or for 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 B ecause thou hast made the Lord, which is my refuge, even the most High, thy habitation;

10 T here shall no evil befall thee, neither shall any plague come nigh 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 thou dash thy foot 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 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 honour him.

16 W ith long life will I satisfy him, and shew him my salvation.
