1 He that dwelleth in the secret place of the Most High

Shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.

2 I will say of Jehovah, He is my refuge and my fortress;

My God, in whom I trust.

3 For he will deliver thee from the snare of the fowler,

And from the deadly pestilence.

4 He will cover thee with his pinions,

And under his wings shalt thou take refuge:

His truth is a shield and a buckler.

5 Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night,

Nor for the arrow that flieth by day;

6 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 Only with thine eyes shalt thou behold,

And see the reward of the wicked.

9 For thou, O Jehovah, art my refuge!

Thou hast made the Most High thy habitation;

10 There shall no evil befall thee,

Neither shall any plague come nigh thy tent.

11 For he will give his angels charge over thee,

To keep thee in all thy ways.

12 They shall bear thee up in their hands,

Lest thou dash thy foot against a stone.

13 Thou shalt tread upon the lion and adder:

The young lion and the serpent shalt thou trample under foot.

14 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.

15 He shall 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.

1 He who is dwelling In the secret place of the Most High, In the shade of the Mighty lodgeth habitually,

2 He is saying of Jehovah, `My refuge, and my bulwark, my God, I trust in Him,`

3 For He delivereth thee from the snare of a fowler, From a calamitous pestilence.

4 With His pinion He covereth thee over, And under His wings thou dost trust, A shield and buckler [is] His truth.

5 Thou art not afraid of fear by night, Of arrow that flieth by day,

6 Of pestilence in thick darkness that walketh, Of destruction that destroyeth at noon,

7 There fall at thy side a thousand, And a myriad at thy right hand, Unto thee it cometh not nigh.

8 But with thine eyes thou lookest, And the reward of the wicked thou seest,

9 (For Thou, O Jehovah, [art] my refuge,) The Most High thou madest thy habitation.

10 Evil happeneth not unto thee, And a plague cometh not near thy tent,

11 For His messengers He chargeth for thee, To keep thee in all thy ways,

12 On the hands they bear thee up, Lest thou smite against a stone thy foot.

13 On lion and asp thou treadest, Thou trampest young lion and dragon.

14 Because in Me he hath delighted, I also deliver him -- I set him on high, Because he hath known My name.

15 He doth call Me, and I answer him, I [am] with him in distress, I deliver him, and honour him.

16 With length of days I satisfy him, And I cause him to look on My salvation!
