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.
