1He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High will abide in the shadow of the Almighty.
1A psalm of a canticle on the sabbath day.
2I will say to the LORD, “You are my refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust.”
2It is good to give praise to the Lord: and to sing to thy name, O most High.
3Surely He will deliver you from the snare of the fowler, and from the deadly plague.
3To shew forth thy mercy in the morning, and thy truth in the night:
4He will cover you with His feathers; under His wings you will find refuge; His faithfulness is a shield and rampart.
4Upon an instrument of ten strings, upon the psaltery: with a canticle upon the harp.
5You will not fear the terror of the night, nor the arrow that flies by day,
5For thou hast given me, O Lord, a delight in thy doings: and in the works of thy hands I shall rejoice.
6nor the pestilence that stalks in the darkness, nor the calamity that destroys at noon.
6O Lord, how great are thy works! thy thoughts are exceeding deep.
7Though a thousand may fall at your side, and ten thousand at your right hand, no harm will come near you.
7The senseless man shall not know: nor will the fool understand these things.
8You will only see it with your eyes and witness the punishment of the wicked.
8When the wicked shall spring up as grass: and all the workers of iniquity shall appear: That they may perish for ever and ever:
9Because you have made the LORD your dwelling— my refuge, the Most High—
9But thou, O Lord, art most high for evermore.
10no evil will befall you, no plague will approach your tent.
10For behold thy enemies, O Lord, for behold thy enemies shall perish: and all the workers of iniquity shall be scattered.
11For He will command His angels concerning you to guard you in all your ways.
11But my horn shall be exalted like that of the unicorn: and my old age in plentiful mercy.
12They will lift you up in their hands, so that you will not strike your foot against a stone.
12My eye also hath looked down upon my enemies: and my ear shall hear of the downfall of the malignant that rise up against me.
13You will tread on the lion and cobra; you will trample the young lion and serpent.
13The just shall flourish like the palm tree: he shall grow up like the cedar of Libanus.
14“Because he loves Me, I will deliver him; because he knows My name, I will protect him.
14They that are planted in the house of the Lord shall flourish in the courts of the house of our God.
15When he calls out to Me, I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble. I will deliver him and honor him.
15They shall still increase in a fruitful old age: and shall be well treated,
16With long life I will satisfy him and show him My salvation.”
16That they may shew, That the Lord our God is righteous, and there is no iniquity in him.
