 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.

He shall call upon me, and I will answer him; * I am with him in trouble; I will rescue him and bring him to honor.

With long life will I satisfy him, * and show him my salvation.

It is a good thing to give thanks to the, * and to sing praises to your Name, O Most High;

To tell of your loving&#8209;kindness early in the morning * and of your faithfulness in the night season;
