1He that dwelleth in the secret place of the Most High Shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty . 2I will say of Jehovah , He is my refuge and my fortress ; My God , in whom I trust . 3For he will deliver thee from the snare of the fowler , And from the deadly pestilence . 4He will cover thee with his pinions, And under his wings shalt thou take refuge : His truth is a shield and a buckler .
Deliverance from Danger
5Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night , Nor for the arrow that flieth by day ; 6For 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 . 9For thou , O Jehovah , art my refuge ! Thou hast made the Most High thy habitation ; 10There shall no evil befall thee, Neither shall any plague come nigh thy tent.
Angelic Protection
11For he will give his angels charge over thee , To keep thee in all thy ways . 12They shall bear thee up in their hands , Lest thou dash thy foot against a stone. 13Thou shalt tread upon the lion and adder : The young lion and the serpent shalt thou trample under foot .
The Assurance of Salvation
14Because he hath set his love upon me , therefore will I deliver him : I will set him on high , because he hath known my name . 15He shall call upon me , and I will answer him ; I will be with him in trouble : I will deliver him , and honor him . 16With long life will I satisfy him , And show him my salvation .
