1 He that doth in the secret place
of the Most High reside,
under the shade of him that is
the Almighty shall abide.
2 I of the Lord my God will say,
He is my refuge still,
he is my fortress and my God,
and in him trust I will.
3 Assuredly he shall thee save,
and give deliverance
both from the fowler’s snare and from
the noisome pestilence.
4 His feathers shall thee hide; thy trust
under his wings shall be:
his faithfulness shall be a shield
and buckler unto thee.
5 Thou shalt not need to be afraid
for terrors of the night;
nor for the arrow that doth fly
by day, while it is light;
6 nor for the pestilence that walks
in darkness secretly;
nor for destruction that doth waste
at noon-day openly.
7 A thousand at thy side shall fall,
on thy right hand shall lie
ten thousand dead; yet unto thee
it shall not once come nigh.
8 Thou with thine eyes shalt only look,
and a beholder be;
and thou the merited reward
of wicked men shalt see.
9 For thou, O Lord, art constantly
my refuge and mine aid;
thou hast the Lord who is most high
thy habitation made.
10 No plague shall near thy dwelling come;
no ill shall thee befall:
11 for thee to keep in all thy ways
his angels charge he shall.
12 They in their hands shall bear thee up,
still waiting thee upon;
lest thou at any time should’st dash
thy foot against a stone.
13 Upon the adder thou shalt tread,
and on the lion strong;
thy feet on dragons trample shall,
and on the lions young.
14 Because on me he set his love,
deliver him will I;
because my great name he hath known,
I will him set on high.
15 He’ll call on me, I’ll answer him;
I will be with him still
in trouble, to deliver him,
and honour him I will.
16 And length of days to his desire
I will on him bestow;
and, in my love, I unto him
will my salvation show.
