5You will not fear the terror of night, nor the arrow that flies by day,

7A thousand may fall at your side, ten thousand at your right hand, but it will not come near you.

8You will only observe with your eyes and see the punishment of the wicked.

8Only observe it with your eyes, and you will see how the wicked are paid back.

9If you say, "The LORD is my refuge," and you make the Most High your dwelling,

9"LORD, you are my refuge!" Because you chose the Most High as your dwelling place,

10no harm will overtake you, no disaster will come near your tent.

10no evil will fall upon you, and no affliction will approach your tent,

11For he will command his angels concerning you to guard you in all your ways;

11for he will command his angels to protect you in all your ways.

13You will tread on the lion and the cobra; you will trample the great lion and the serpent.

13You will stomp on lions and snakes; you will trample young lions and serpents.

14"Because he loves me," says the LORD, "I will rescue him; I will protect him, for he acknowledges my name.

14Because he has focused his love on me, I will deliver him. I will protect him because he knows my name.

15He will call on me, and I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble, I will deliver him and honor him.

15When he calls out to me, I will answer him. I will be with him in his distress. I will deliver him, and I will honor him.

16With long life I will satisfy him and show him my salvation."

16I will satisfy him with long life; I will show him my deliverance.
