1 The praise of an Ode. By David. He who dwelleth under the protection of the Most High shall lodge in the shelter of the God of heaven.
2 He will say to the Lord, "Thou art my helper: my God is my refuge, I will trust in him."
3 Because he will deliver thee from the snare of hunters; and tumultuous accusation;
4 with his breast will overshadow thee: therefore under his wings thou shalt rest secure. His truth will encompass thee with armour.
5 Thou shalt not be afraid of the terror by night; nor of the arrow which flieth by day;
6 of the thing which walketh in darkness; nor of mischance and the demon of noon day.
7 A thousand may fall at thy side; and ten thousand at thy right hand: but it shall not approach thee.
8 But thou with thine eyes shalt observe, and see the reward of the wicked.
9 Because thou, O Lord, my hope; hast made the Most High thy refuge;
10 no evils shall come upon thee, nor shall a scourge approach thy dwelling.
11 For he will give his angels a charge concerning thee; to keep thee in all thy ways;
12 with their hands they shall bear thee up; shouldst thou chance to strike thy foot against a stone.
13 Upon an asp and a basilisk thou shalt tread: and trample down a lion and a dragon.
14 [J] Because he trusted in me, I will deliver him: I will protect him because he knew my name.
15 He will call on me, and I will answer him: I am with him in affliction: I will deliver him and honour him.
16 With length of days I will satisfy him; and I will shew him my salvation.
