In the Shadow of the Almighty

¹ He who abides in the ^(C1)shelter of the Most High
Will abide in the ^(C2)shadow of the Almighty.

² I will say to Yahweh, "My ^(C1)refuge and my ^(C2)fortress,
My God, in whom I ^(C3)trust!"

³ For it is He who delivers you from the ^(C1)snare of the trapper
And from the destructive ^(C2)pestilence.

⁴ He will ^(C1)cover you with His pinions,
And ^(C2)under His wings you will take refuge;
His ^(C3)truth is a ^(C4)large shield and bulwark.

⁵ You ^(C1)will not be afraid of ^(C2)terror by night,
Or ^(C3)arrow that flies by day;

⁶ Of ^(C1)pestilence that moves in darkness,
Or of ^(C2)destruction that devastates at noon.

⁷ A thousand may fall at your side
And ten thousand at your right hand,
But ^(C1)it shall not approach you.

⁸ You will only look on with your eyes
And ^(C1)see the recompense of the wicked.

^9 (F1)For you have made Yahweh—^(C1)my refuge,
The Most High—^(C2)your dwelling place.

^10 (C1)No evil will befall you,
And no plague will come near your ^(F1)tent.

¹¹ For He will command ^(C1)His angels concerning you,
To guard you in all your ways.

¹² On their hands they will ^(C1)bear you up,
Lest you strike your foot against a stone.

¹³ You will ^(C1)tread upon the fierce lion and cobra,
The young lion and the ^(F1)serpent you will trample down.

¹⁴ "^(C1)Because he has loved Me, therefore I will protect him;
I will ^(C2)set him securely on high, because he has ^(C3)known My name.

¹⁵ "He will ^(C1)call upon Me, and I will answer him;
I will be with him in his ^(F1)distress;
I will rescue him and ^(C2)honor him.

¹⁶ "With ^(F1)a ^(C1)long life I will satisfy him
And ^(C2)I will show him My salvation."
