Whoever lives in the shelter of the Most High, *
will find rest in the shadow of the Almighty.
I will say of the LORD, "My refuge and my fortress, *
my God, my trust is in Him."
For it is He who rescues you from the fowler's snare, *
and from the deadly plague.
He will cover you with His feathers, †
and under His wings you will take refuge, *
His faithfulness is a shield and wall.
You will not fear the terror by night, or the arrow that flies by day, †
or the plague that stalks in darkness, *
or the destruction that strikes at noon.
A thousand will fall at your side, †
and ten thousand at your right hand, *
but you will stay out of reach.
You will only look with your eyes, *
and watch as the wicked are punished.
For you have made the LORD, my refuge, *
the most high, your fortress.
No evil will touch you, *
nor plague approach your tent.
For He will give His angels orders concerning you, *
to protect you in all your ways.
On their hands they will carry you, *
so you never strike your foot against a stone.
On the lion and cobra you will tread, *
and trample the young lion and the cobra.
"Since they have loved Me, I will rescue them. *
I will protect them, because they have known My name.
They will call to Me, and I will answer them; †
I will be with them in trouble, *
I will rescue and honor them.
With a long life I will satisfy them, *
and I will show them My salvation."
Gloria
Glory to the Father, to the Son,
and to the Holy Spirit,
As it was in the beginning, is now,
and will be forever.
Amen
