He that dwelleth in the aid of the most High,
shall abide under the protection of the God of Jacob.
He shall say to the Lord: Thou art my protector, and my refuge:
my God, in him will I trust.
For he hath delivered me from the snare of the hunters:
and from the sharp word.
He will overshadow thee with his shoulders:
and under his wings thou shalt trust.
His truth shall compass thee with a shield:
thou shalt not be afraid of the terror of the night.
Of the arrow that flieth in the day, of the business that walketh about in the dark:
of invasion, or of the noonday devil.
A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand:
but it shall not come nigh thee.
Because thou, O Lord, art my hope:
thou hast made the most High thy refuge.
There shall no evil come to thee:
nor shall the scourge come near thy dwelling.
For he hath given his angels charge over thee;
to keep thee in all thy ways.
In their hands they shall bear thee up:
lest thou dash thy foot against a stone.
Thou shalt walk upon the asp and the basilisk:
and thou shalt trample under foot the lion and the dragon.
Because he hoped in me I will deliver him:
I will protect him because he hath known my name.
He shall cry to me, and I will hear him:
I am with him in tribulation, I will deliver him, and I will glorify him.
I will fill him with length of days;
and I will shew him my salvation.
