• In the Shadow of the Almighty

  • 1 He who abides in the shelter of the Most High Will abide in the shadow of the Almighty.
  • 2 I will say to Yahweh, “My refuge and my fortress, My God, in whom I trust!”
  • 3 For it is He who delivers you from the snare of the trapper And from the destructive pestilence.
  • 4 He will cover you with His pinions, And under His wings you will take refuge; His truth is a large shield and bulwark.
  • 5 You will not be afraid of terror by night, Or arrow that flies by day;
  • 6 Of pestilence that moves in darkness, Or of destruction that devastates at noon.
  • 7 A thousand may fall at your side And ten thousand at your right hand, But it shall not approach you.
  • 8 You will only look on with your eyes And see the recompense of the wicked.
  • 9 For you have made Yahweh—my refuge, The Most High—your dwelling place.
  • 10 No evil will befall you, And no plague will come near your tent.
  • 11 For He will command His angels concerning you, To guard you in all your ways.
  • 12 On their hands they will bear you up, Lest you strike your foot against a stone.
  • 13 You will tread upon the fierce lion and cobra, The young lion and the serpent you will trample down.
  • 14 “Because he has loved Me, therefore I will protect him; I will set him securely on high, because he has known My name.
  • 15 “He will call upon Me, and I will answer him; I will be with him in his distress; I will rescue him and honor him.
  • 16 “With a long life I will satisfy him And I will show him My salvation.”
