• Security of One Who Trusts in the Lord.

  • 1 One who dwells in the shelter of the Most High Will lodge in the shadow of the Almighty.
  • 2 I will say to the Lord, “My refuge and my fortress, My God, in whom I trust!”
  • 3 For it is He who rescues you from the net of the trapper And from the deadly plague.
  • 4 He will cover you with His pinions, And under His wings you may take refuge; His faithfulness is a shield and wall.
  • 5 You will not be afraid of the terror by night, Or of the arrow that flies by day;
  • 6 Of the plague that stalks in darkness, Or of the 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 retaliation against the wicked.
  • 9 For you have made the Lord, my refuge, The Most High, your dwelling place.
  • 10 No evil will happen to you, Nor will any plague come near your tent.
  • 11 For He will give His angels orders concerning you, To protect you in all your ways.
  • 12 On their hands they will lift you up, So that you do not strike your foot against a stone.
  • 13 You will walk upon the lion and cobra, You will trample the young lion and the serpent.
  • 14 “Because he has loved Me, I will save 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 trouble; I will rescue him and honor him.
  • 16 “I will satisfy him with a long life, And show him My salvation.”
