1. I dwell in the secret place of the Most High and remain stable and fixed under the shadow of the Almighty (Whose power no foe can withstand).

2. I will say of the Lord, He is my refuge and my fortress, my God, on Him I lean and rely, and in Him I (confidently) trust.

3. For (then) He will deliver me from the snare of the fowler and from the deadly pestilence.

4. (Then) He will cover me with His feathers, and under His wings shall I trust and find refuge; His truth and His faithfulness are a shield and a buckler.

5. I shall not be afraid of the terror of the night, nor of the arrow (the evil plots and slanders of the wicked) that flies by day,

6. Nor of the pestilence that stalks in darkness, nor of the destruction and sudden death that surprise and lay waste at noonday.

7. A thousand may fall at my side, and ten thousand at my right hand, but it shall not come near me.

8. Only a spectator shall I be (inaccessible in the secret place of the Most High) as I witness the reward of the wicked.

9. Because I have made the Lord my refuge, and the Most High my dwelling place,

10. There shall no evil befall me, nor any plague or calamity come near my tent.

11. For He will give His angels (special) charge over me, to accompany and defend and preserve me in all my ways (of obedience and service).

12. They shall bear me up on their hands, lest I dash my foot against a stone.

13. I shall tread upon the lion and adder, the young lion and the serpent shall I trample under my foot.

14. Because I have set my love upon Him, therefore He will deliver me; He will set me on high, because I know and understand His name (have a personal knowledge of His mercy, love, and kindness; trust and rely on Him knowing He will never forsake me, no never).

15. I shall call upon Him, and He will answer me; He will be with me in trouble, He will deliver me and honor me,

16. With long life will He satisfy me, and show me His salvation.

In Jesus Name--Amen
