| We
live within the shadow of the Almighty, sheltered by the God
who is above all gods.
This
I declare, that he alone is my refuge, my place of safety;
he is my God, and I am trusting him. For he rescues you
from every trap and protects you from the fatal plague.
He will shield you with his wings! They will shelter you.
His faithful promises are your armor. Now you don't need
to be afraid of the dark any more, nor fear the dangers
of the day; nor dread the plagues of darkness, nor disasters
in the morning.
Though
a thousand fall at my side, though ten thousand are dying
around me, the evil will not touch me. I will see how the
wicked are punished, but I will not share it. For Jehovah
is my refuge! I choose the God above all gods to shelter
me. How then can evil overtake me or any plague come near?
For he orders his angels to protect you wherever you go.
They will steady you with their hands to keep you from stumbling
against the rocks on the trail. You can safely meet a lion
or step on poisonous snakes, yes, even trample them beneath
your feet!
For
the Lord says, "Because he loves me, I will rescue
him; I will make him great because he trusts in my name.
When he calls on me, I will answer; I will be with him in
trouble and rescue him and honor him. I will satisfy him
with a full life and give him my salvation."
