1 Whoever lives under the shelter of the Most High

will remain in the shadow of the Almighty.

2 I will say to the Lord,

“⌞You are⌟ my refuge and my fortress, my God in whom I trust.”

3 He is the one who will rescue you from hunters’ traps

and from deadly plagues.

4 He will cover you with his feathers,

and under his wings you will find refuge.

His truth is your shield and armor.

5 You do not need to fear

terrors of the night,

arrows that fly during the day,

6 plagues that roam the dark,

epidemics that strike at noon.

7 They will not come near you,

even though a thousand may fall dead beside you

or ten thousand at your right side.

8 You only have to look with your eyes

to see the punishment of wicked people.

9 You, O Lord, are my refuge!

You have made the Most High your home.

10 No harm will come to you.

No sickness will come near your house.

11 He will put his angels in charge of you

to protect you in all your ways.

12 They will carry you in their hands

so that you never hit your foot against a rock.

13 You will step on lions and cobras.

You will trample young lions and snakes.

14 Because you love me, I will rescue you.

I will protect you because you know my name.

15 When you call to me, I will answer you.

I will be with you when you are in trouble.

I will save you and honor you.

16 I will satisfy you with a long life.

I will show you how I will save you.
