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.
