O you who dwell in the shelter of the Most High and abide in the protection of Shaddai— I say of GOD, my refuge and stronghold, my God in whom I trust, that you will be saved from the fowler’s trap, from the destructive plague. With pinions you will be covered; you will find refuge under God’s wings— whose fidelity is an encircling shield. You need not fear the terror by night, or the arrow that flies by day, the plague that stalks in the darkness, or the scourge that ravages at noon. A thousand may fall at your left side, ten thousand at your right, but it shall not reach you. You will see it with your eyes, you will witness the punishment of the wicked. Because you took GOD—my refuge, the Most High—as your haven, no harm will befall you, no disease touch your tent. For God’s angels will be ordered to guard you wherever you go. They will carry you in their hands lest you hurt your foot on a stone. You will tread on cubs and vipers; you will trample lions and asps. “Because such people are devoted to Me, I will deliver them; I will keep them safe, for they know My name. When they call on Me, I will answer them; I will be with them in distress; I will rescue them and make them honored; I will let them live to a ripe old age, and show them My salvation.”
