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 Yahweh, "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 Yahweh 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." Psalm 92 A Psalm. A song for the Sabbath day. |
