My Refuge and My Fortress

1He that dwells in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.

2I will say of the LORD, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God; in him will I trust.

3Surely he shall deliver you from the snare of the fowler, and from the noisome pestilence.

4He shall cover you with his feathers, and under his wings shall you trust: his truth shall be your shield and buckler.

5You shall not be afraid for the terror by night; nor for the arrow that flies by day;

6Nor for the pestilence that walks in darkness; nor for the destruction that wastes at noonday.

7A thousand shall fall at your side, and ten thousand at your right hand; but it shall not come near you.

8Only with your eyes shall you behold and see the reward of the wicked.

9Because you have made the LORD, which is my refuge, even the most High, your habitation;

10There shall no evil befall you, neither shall any plague come near your dwelling.

11For he shall give his angels charge over you, to keep you in all your ways.

12They shall bear you up in their hands, lest you dash your foot against a stone.

13You shall tread on the lion and adder: the young lion and the dragon shall you trample under feet.

14Because he has set his love on me, therefore will I deliver him: I will set him on high, because he has known my name.

15He shall call on 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.
