1.
He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty.
|
|
2.
I will say of the LORD, "He is my refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust."
|
|
3.
Surely he will save you from the fowler's snare and from the deadly pestilence.
|
|
4.
He will cover you with his feathers, and under his wings you will find refuge; his faithfulness will be your shield and rampart.
|
|
5.
You will not fear the terror of night, nor the arrow that flies by day,
|
|
6.
nor the pestilence that stalks in the darkness, nor the plague that destroys at midday.
|
|
7.
A thousand may fall at your side, ten thousand at your right hand, but it will not come near you.
|
|
8.
You will only observe with your eyes and see the punishment of the wicked.
|
|
9.
If you make the Most High your dwelling--even the LORD, who is my refuge--
|
|
10.
then no harm will befall you, no disaster will come near your tent.
|
|
11.
For he will command his angels concerning you to guard you in all your ways;
|
|
12.
they will lift you up in their hands, so that you will not strike your foot against a stone.
|
|
13.
You will tread upon the lion and the cobra; you will trample the great lion and the serpent.
|
|
14.
"Because he loves me," says the LORD, "I will rescue him; I will protect him, for he acknowledges my name.
|
|
15.
He will call upon me, and I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble, I will deliver him and honor him.
|
|
16.
With long life will I satisfy him and show him my salvation."
