1  He who dwells in the ^zshelter of the Most High

will abide in the ^ashadow of the Almighty.

2  I will say¹ to the Lord, “My refuge and my fortress,

my God, in whom I trust.”

3  For he will deliver you from the snare of the fowler

and from the deadly pestilence.

4  He will cover you with his pinions,

and ^bunder his wings you will find refuge;

his faithfulness is a ^cshield and buckler.

5  You will not fear the terror of the night,

nor the arrow that flies by day,

6  nor the pestilence that stalks in darkness,

nor the destruction that wastes at noonday.

7  A thousand may fall at your side,

ten thousand at your right hand,

but it will not come near you.

8  You will only look with your eyes

and ^dsee the recompense of the wicked.
