You are my refuge and my fortress

1
The praise of a canticle for David. He that dwelleth in the aid of the most High, shall abide under the protection of the God of Jacob.
2
He shall say to the Lord: Thou art my protector, and my refuge: my God, in him will I trust.
3
For he hath delivered me from the snare of the hunters: and from the sharp word.
4
He will overshadow thee with his shoulders: and under his wings thou shalt trust.
5
His truth shall compass thee with a shield: thou shalt not be afraid of the terror of the night.
6
Of the arrow that flieth in the day, of the business that walketh about in the dark: of invasion, or of the noonday devil.
7
A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand: but it shall not come nigh thee.
8
But thou shalt consider with thy eyes: and shalt see the reward of the wicked.
9
Because thou, O Lord, art my hope: thou hast made the most High thy refuge.
10
There shall no evil come to thee: nor shall the scourge come near thy dwelling.
11
For he hath given his angels charge over thee; to keep thee in all thy ways.
12
In their hands they shall bear thee up: lest thou dash thy foot against a stone.
13
Thou shalt walk upon the asp and the basilisk: and thou shalt trample under foot the lion and the dragon.
14
Because he hoped in me I will deliver him: I will protect him because he hath known my name.
15
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.
16
I will fill him with length of days; and I will shew him my salvation.

You are my refuge and my fortress

1
He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty.
2
I will say of the LORD, “He is my refuge and my fortress; my God, in whom I trust.”
3
For he will deliver you from the snare of the fowler, and from the deadly pestilence.
4
He will cover you with his feathers. Under his wings you will take refuge. His faithfulness is your shield and rampart.
5
You shall not be afraid of the terror by night, nor of the arrow that flies by day,
6
nor of the pestilence that walks in darkness, nor of the destruction that wastes at noonday.
7
A thousand may fall at your side, and ten thousand at your right hand; but it will not come near you.
8
You will only look with your eyes, and see the recompense of the wicked.
9
Because you have made the LORD your refuge, and the Most High your dwelling place,
10
no evil shall happen to you, neither shall any plague come near your dwelling.
11
For he will put his angels in charge of you, to guard you in all your ways.
12
They will bear you up in their hands, so that you won’t dash your foot against a stone.
13
You will tread on the lion and cobra. You will trample the young lion and the serpent underfoot.
14
Because he has set his love on me, therefore I will deliver him. I will set him on high, because he has known my name.
15
He will call on me, and I will answer him. I will be with him in trouble. I will deliver him, and honor him.
16
I will satisfy him with long life, and show him my salvation.”
