| 1 ¶ He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide1 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:2 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 long3 life will I satisfy him, and shew him my salvation.
