¹ He who lives under the shelter of the Most High will remain in the shadow of the Almighty.

² I will say to Jehovah: You are my refuge and my fortress, my God in whom I trust.

³ He is the one who will rescue you from the bird hunter's trap (fowler's snare) and from deadly plagues. ⁴ He will cover you with his pinions, and under his wings you will find refuge. His truth is your shield and armor. ⁵ You will not be afraid of the terror of the night and arrows that fly during the day, ⁶ plagues that roam the dark, epidemics that strike at noon. ⁷ They will not come near you, even though a thousand may fall dead beside you or ten thousand at your right side. ⁸ You only have to look with your eyes to see the punishment of wicked people.

⁹ You, O Jehovah, are my refuge! You have made the Most High your home. ¹⁰ No harm will come to you. No sickness will come near your house. ¹¹ He will put his angels in charge of you to protect you in all your ways. ¹² They will carry you in their hands so that you never strike your foot against a rock. ¹³ You will step on lions and cobras. You will trample underfoot young lions and snakes.

¹⁴ Because you love me, I will rescue you. I will protect you because you know my name. ¹⁵ When you call to me, I will answer you. I will be with you when you are in trouble. I will deliver you and honor you. ¹⁶ I will satisfy you with a long life. I will show you my salvation.
