In the Shadow of the Almighty
He who abides in the ashelter of the Most High
Will abide in the bshadow of the Almighty.
2 I will say to Yahweh, “My arefuge and my bfortress,
My God, in whom I ctrust!”
3 For it is He who delivers you from the asnare of the trapper
And from the destructive bpestilence.
4 He will acover you with His pinions,
And bunder His wings you will take refuge;
His ctruth is a dlarge shield and bulwark.
5 You awill not be afraid of bterror by night,
Or carrow that flies by day;
6 Of apestilence that moves in darkness,
Or of bdestruction that devastates at noon.
7 A thousand may fall at your side
And ten thousand at your right hand,
But ait shall not approach you.
8 You will only look on with your eyes
And asee the recompense of the wicked.
9 For you have made Yahweh—amy refuge,
The Most High—byour dwelling place.
10 aNo evil will befall you,
And no plague will come near your tent.
11 For He will command aHis angels concerning you,
To guard you in all your ways.
12 On their hands they will abear you up,
Lest you strike your foot against a stone.
13 You will atread upon the fierce lion and cobra,
The young lion and the serpent you will trample down.
14 “aBecause he has loved Me, therefore I will protect him;
I will bset him securely on high, because he has cknown My name.
15 He will acall upon Me, and I will answer him;
I will be with him in his distress;
I will rescue him and bhonor him.
16 With a along life I will satisfy him
And bI will show him My salvation.”
