1 Dweller in the shadow of the Most High, who passes the night in the shadow of the Almighty, 2 You will say to YHWH, "My refuge and my stronghold! My God, in whom I trust!" 3 For He will rescue you from the trap of the fowler, and from the ruinous plague. 4 With His feathers He will cover you, and under His wings you will find shelter. His faithfulness is a shield and a wall. 5 You will not fear the terror of the night, or the arrow which flies by day, 6 Or the plague which walks in darkness, or the destruction which devastates at midday. 7 A thousand may fall at your side, and ten thousand at your right hand; but it will not come near you. 8 You will only look with your eyes, and see the retribution of the guilty ones. 9 For you have made YHWH your refuge. You have made the Most High your dwelling. 10 Evil will not befall you, and affliction will not approach your tent. 11 For he will command his messengers about you, to guard you in all your paths. 12 On their palms they will lift you up, lest you strike your foot against the stone. 13 You will step on the lion-cub and the asp; you will trample the young lion and the serpent. 14 I will bring him to safety because he loves me; I will protect him because he knows my name. 15 He will call me, and I will answer him; I will be with him in distress; I will save him and honor him. 16 With length of days I will satisfy him, and I will show him my deliverance.
