The one who lives under the protection of the Most High
dwells in the shadow of the Almighty.

For He will give His angels orders concerning you,
to protect you in all your ways.

When he calls out to Me, I will answer him;
I will be with him in trouble.
I will rescue him and give him honor.

Because he is lovingly devoted to Me,
I will deliver him;
I will protect him because he knows My name.

He will cover you with His feathers;
you will take refuge under His wings.
His faithfulness will be a protective shield.

I will say to the Lord, “My refuge and my fortress,
my God, in whom I trust.”

Because you have made the Lord—my refuge,
the Most High—your dwelling place,

You will not fear the terror of the night,
the arrow that flies by day,

Though a thousand fall at your side
and ten thousand at your right hand,
the pestilence will not reach you.

no harm will come to you;
no plague will come near your tent.

He Himself will deliver you from the hunter’s net,
from the destructive plague.

I will satisfy him with a long life
and show him My salvation.

You will tread on the lion and the cobra;
you will trample the young lion and the serpent.

the plague that stalks in darkness,
or the pestilence that ravages at noon.

You will only see it with your eyes
and witness the punishment of the wicked.

They will support you with their hands
so that you will not strike your foot against a stone.
