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

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

4 He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt thou trust: his truth shall be thy shield and buckler.

5 Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night; nor for the arrow that flieth by day;

6 Nor 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 Because thou hast made the LORD, which is my refuge, even the most High, thy habitation;

10 There shall no evil befall thee, neither shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling.

11 For he shall 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 dragon shalt thou trample under feet.

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 honour him.

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

1 Hy wat in die skuilplek van die Allerhoogste sit, sal vernag in die skaduwee van die Almagtige.

2 Ek sal tot die HERE sê: My toevlug en my bergvesting, my God op wie ek vertrou.

3 Want Hy is dit wat jou sal red uit die net van die voëlvanger, van die verderflike pes.

4 Hy sal jou dek met sy vlerke, en onder sy vleuels sal jy skuil; sy trou is 'n skild en pantser.

5 Jy hoef nie te vrees vir die skrik van die nag, vir die pyl wat bedags vlieg nie,

6 vir die pes wat in die donker wandel, vir die siekte wat op die middag verwoes nie!

7 Al val daar duisend aan jou sy en tien duisend aan jou regterhand -- na jou sal dit nie aankom nie.

8 Net met jou oë sal jy dit aanskou en die vergelding van die goddelose sien.

9 Want U, HERE, is my toevlug. Die Allerhoogste het jy jou beskutting gemaak.

10 Geen onheil sal jou tref en geen plaag naby jou tent kom nie;

11 want Hy sal sy engele aangaande jou bevel gee om jou te bewaar op al jou weë.

12 Hulle sal jou op die hande dra, sodat jy jou voet teen geen klip stamp nie.

13 Op die leeu en die adder sal jy trap, die jong leeu en die slang vertrap.

14 Omdat hy My liefhet, sê God, daarom sal Ek hom red; Ek sal hom beskerm, omdat hy my Naam ken.

15 Hy sal My aanroep, en Ek sal hom verhoor; in die nood sal Ek by hom wees; Ek sal hom uitred en eer aan hom gee.

16 Met lengte van dae sal Ek hom versadig, en Ek sal hom my heil laat sien.
