Happy is he whose resting-place is in the secret of the Lord, and under the shade of the wings of the Most High;

For he will give you into the care of his angels to keep you wherever you go.

When his cry comes up to me, I will give him an answer: I will be with him in trouble; I will make him free from danger and give him honour.

Because he has given me his love, I will take him out of danger: I will put him in a place of honour, because he has kept my name in his heart.

You will be covered by his feathers; under his wings you will be safe: his good faith will be your salvation.

Who says of the Lord, He is my safe place and my tower of strength: he is my God, in whom is my hope.

Because you have said, I am in the hands of the Lord, the Most High is my safe resting-place;

You will have no fear of the evil things of the night, or of the arrow in flight by day,

You will see a thousand falling by your side, and ten thousand at your right hand; but it will not come near you.

No evil will come on you, and no disease will come near your tent.

He will take you out of the bird-net, and keep you safe from wasting disease.

With long life will he be rewarded; and I will let him see my salvation.

You will put your foot on the lion and the snake; the young lion and the great snake will be crushed under your feet.

Or of the disease which takes men in the dark, or of the destruction which makes waste when the sun is high.

Only with your eyes will you see the reward of the evil-doers.

In their hands they will keep you up, so that your foot may not be crushed against a stone.
