 He shall deliver you from the snare of the hunter * and from the deadly pestilence.

He shall cover you with his pinions, and you shall find refuge under his wings; * his faithfulness shall be a shield and buckler.

You shall not be afraid of any terror by night, * nor of the arrow that flies by day;

Of the plague that stalks in the darkness, * nor of the sickness that lays waste at mid&#8209;day.

A thousand shall fall at your side and ten thousand at your right hand, * but it shall not come near you.

Your eyes have only to behold * to see the reward of the wicked.

Because you have made the your refuge, * and the Most High your habitation,

There shall no evil happen to you, * neither shall any plague come near your dwelling.

For he shall give his angels charge over you, * to keep you in all your ways.

They shall bear you in their hands, * lest you dash your foot against a stone.

You shall tread upon the lion and adder; * you shall trample the young lion and the serpent under your feet.

Because he is bound to me in love, therefore will I deliver him; * I will protect him, because he knows my Name.
