✧He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. ✧2I will say of the LORD, [He is] my refuge and my fortress: my God; in him will I trust. ✧3Surely he shall deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, [and] from the noisome pestilence. ✧4He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt thou trust: his truth [shall be thy] shield and buckler. ✧5Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night; [nor] for the arrow [that] flieth by day; ✧6[Nor] for the pestilence [that] walketh in darkness; [nor] for the destruction [that] wasteth at noonday. ✧7A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand; [but] it shall not come nigh thee. ✧8Only with thine eyes shalt thou behold and see the reward of the wicked. ✧9Because thou hast made the LORD, [which is] my refuge, [even] the most High, thy habitation; ✧10There shall no evil befall thee, neither shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling. ✧11For he shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways. ✧12
