1 The one who lives under the protection of the Most High

dwells in the shadow of the Almighty.  *

2 I will say  * concerning the  Lord, who is my refuge and my fortress,

my God in whom I trust:  *

3 He himself will rescue you from the bird trap,  *

from the destructive plague.

4 He will cover you with his feathers;

you will take refuge under his wings.  *

His faithfulness will be a protective shield.  *
