Written by 1 I live in the shelter of the Most High God and find rest in the shadow of the Almighty.
2 This I declare about the LORD: You alone are my refuge, my place of safety; You are my God, and I trust you.
3 For you will rescue me from every trap and protect me from deadly disease.
4 You will cover me with your feathers. You will shelter me with your wings. (Like a mother hen protects her baby chicks.) Your faithful promises are my armor and protection.
5 I will not be afraid of the terrors of the night, nor the arrow that flies in the day.
6 I do not dread the disease that stalks in darkness, nor the disaster that strikes at midday.
7 Though a thousand fall at my side, though ten thousand are dying around me, these evils will not touch me.
8 I see how the wicked are punished.
9 If I make the LORD my refuge, if I make the Most High God my shelter,
10 no evil will conquer me; no plague will come near my home.
11 For You, God, have ordered your angels to protect me wherever I go.
12 The angels will hold me up with their hands so I won’t even hurt my foot on a stone.
13 I will trample upon lions and cobras; I will crush fierce lions and serpents under my feet!
14 The LORD says, “I will rescue insert your name who loves me. I will protect insert your name who trusts in my name.
15 When insert your name calls on me, I will answer; I will be with insert your name in trouble. I will rescue and honor insert your name.
16 I will reward insert your name with a long life and give insert your name my salvation.”
