- 1. Happy is he whose resting-place is in the secret of the Lord, and under the shade of the wings of the Most High;
- 2. Who says of the Lord, He is my safe place and my tower of strength: he is my God, in whom is my hope.
- 3. He will take you out of the bird-net, and keep you safe from wasting disease.
- 4. You will be covered by his feathers; under his wings you will be safe: his good faith will be your salvation.
- 5. You will have no fear of the evil things of the night, or of the arrow in flight by day,
- 6. Or of the disease which takes men in the dark, or of the destruction which makes waste when the sun is high.
- 7. You will see a thousand falling by your side, and ten thousand at your right hand; but it will not come near you.
- 8. Only with your eyes will you see the reward of the evil-doers.
- 9. Because you have said, I am in the hands of the Lord, the Most High is my safe resting-place;
- 10. No evil will come on you, and no disease will come near your tent.
- 11. For he will give you into the care of his angels to keep you wherever you go.
- 12. In their hands they will keep you up, so that your foot may not be crushed against a stone.
- 13. You will put your foot on the lion and the snake; the young lion and the great snake will be crushed under your feet.
- 14. Because he has given me his love, I will take him out of danger: I will put him in a place of honour, because he has kept my name in his heart.
- 15. When his cry comes up to me, I will give him an answer: I will be with him in trouble; I will make him free from danger and give him honour.
- 16. With long life will he be rewarded; and I will let him see my salvation.
