He that dwelleth 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 will I trust.
Surely he shall deliver thee from
the snare of the fowler, and from
the noisome pestilence.
He shall cover thee with his feathers,
and under his wings
shalt thou trust: his truth shall
be thy shield and buckler.
Thou shalt not be afraid for
the terror by night; nor for the
arrow that flieth by day;
Nor for the pestilence that
walketh in darkness; nor
for the destruction that
wasteth at noonday.
A thousand shall fall at thy
side, and ten thousand at thy
right hand; but it shall not
come nigh thee.
Only with thine eyes shalt
thou behold and see the
reward of the wicked.
Because thou hast made
the LORD, which is my
refuge, even the most
High, thy habitation;
There shall no evil befall
thee, neither shall any plague
come nigh thy dwelling.
For he shall give his angels
charge over thee, to keep
thee in all thy ways.
They shall bear thee up
in their hands, lest thou
dash thy foot against a stone.
Thou shalt tread upon the
lion and adder: the young lion
and the dragon shalt thou
trample under feet.
Because he hath set his love
upon me, therefore will I deliver
him: I will set him on high,
because he hath 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 honour him.
With long life will I satisfy him,
and shew him my salvation.
