Psalms

1He who dwells in the secret place of the Most Highwill rest in the shadow of the Almighty.

2I will say of the LORD, “He is my refuge and my fortress;my God, in whom I trust.”

3For he will deliver you from the snare of the fowler,and from the deadly pestilence.

4He will cover you with his feathers.Under his wings you will take refuge. His faithfulness is your shield and rampart.

5You shall not be afraid of the terror by night,nor of the arrow that flies by day,

6nor of the pestilence that walks in darkness, nor of the destruction that wastes at noonday.

7A thousand may fall at your side,and ten thousand at your right hand; but it will not come near you.

8You will only look with your eyes,and see the recompense of the wicked.

9Because you have made the LORD your refuge,and the Most High your dwelling place,

10no evil shall happen to you,neither shall any plague come near your dwelling.

11For he will put his angels in charge of you,to guard you in all your ways.

12They will bear you up in their hands,so that you won’t dash your foot against a stone.

13You will tread on the lion and cobra.You will trample the young lion and the serpent underfoot.

14“Because he has set his love on me, therefore I will deliver him.I will set him on high, because he has known my name.

15He will call on me, and I will answer him.I will be with him in trouble. I will deliver him, and honor him.

16I will satisfy him with long life,and show him my salvation.”

1He who is dwelling In the secret place of the Most High, In the shade of the Mighty lodgeth habitually,

2He is saying of Jehovah, 'My refuge, and my bulwark, my God, I trust in Him,'

3For He delivereth thee from the snare of a fowler, From a calamitous pestilence.

4With His pinion He covereth thee over, And under His wings thou dost trust, A shield and buckler [is] His truth.

5Thou art not afraid of fear by night, Of arrow that flieth by day,

6Of pestilence in thick darkness that walketh, Of destruction that destroyeth at noon,

7There fall at thy side a thousand, And a myriad at thy right hand, Unto thee it cometh not nigh.

8But with thine eyes thou lookest, And the reward of the wicked thou seest,

9(For Thou, O Jehovah, [art] my refuge,) The Most High thou madest thy habitation.

10Evil happeneth not unto thee, And a plague cometh not near thy tent,

11For His messengers He chargeth for thee, To keep thee in all thy ways,

12On the hands they bear thee up, Lest thou smite against a stone thy foot.

13On lion and asp thou treadest, Thou trampest young lion and dragon.

14Because in Me he hath delighted, I also deliver him — I set him on high, Because he hath known My name.

15He doth call Me, and I answer him, I [am] with him in distress, I deliver him, and honour him.

16With length of days I satisfy him, And I cause him to look on My salvation!
