¹ Live under the protection
    of God Most High
    and stay in the shadow
    of God All-Powerful.
² Then you will say to the Lord,
"You are my fortress,
    my place of safety;
    you are my God,
    and I trust you."

³ The Lord will keep you safe
from secret traps
    and deadly diseases.
⁴ He will spread his wings
over you
    and keep you secure.
    His faithfulness is like
    a shield or a city wall.^[a]

⁵ You won't need to worry
about dangers at night
    or arrows during the day.
⁶ And you won't fear diseases
that strike in the dark
    or sudden disaster at noon.

⁷ You will not be harmed,
    though thousands fall
    all around you.
⁸ And with your own eyes
you will see
    the punishment
    of the wicked.
⁹ The Lord Most High
    is your fortress.
Run to him for safety,
¹⁰     and no terrible disasters
    will strike you
    or your home.

¹¹ God will command his angels
to protect you
    wherever you go.
¹² They will carry you
    in their arms,
    and you won't hurt your feet
    on the stones.
¹³ You will overpower
the strongest lions
    and the most deadly snakes.

¹⁴ The Lord says,
"If you love me
    and truly know who I am,
    I will rescue you
    and keep you safe.
¹⁵ When you are in trouble,
    call out to me.
I will answer and be there
    to protect and honor you.
¹⁶     You will live a long life
    and see my saving power."
