Qui habitat

1  Whoever dwells under the defense of the Most High *
shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.
2  I will say unto the Lord, “You are my refuge and
  my stronghold, *
my God in whom I will trust.”
3  For he shall deliver you from the snare of the hunter *
and from the deadly pestilence.
4  He shall defend you under his wings, and you shall be safe
  under his feathers; *
his faithfulness and truth shall be your shield and buckler.
5  You shall not be afraid of any terror by night, *
nor of the arrow that flies by day,
6  Of the pestilence that walks in darkness, *
nor of the sickness that destroys at noonday.

7  A thousand shall fall beside you, and ten thousand
  at your right hand, *
but it shall not come near you.
8  Indeed, with your eyes you shall behold *
and see the reward of the ungodly.
9  Because you have said, “The Lord is my refuge,” * 
and have made the Most High your stronghold, 
10  There shall no evil happen to you, *
neither shall any plague come near your dwelling.
11  For he shall give his angels charge over you, *
to keep you in all your ways.
12  They shall bear you in their hands, *
that you hurt not your foot against a stone.
13  You shall tread upon the lion and adder; *
the young lion and the serpent you shall trample 
under your feet.
14  “Because he has set his love upon me, therefore I will
  deliver him; *
I will lift him up, because he has known my Name.
15  He shall call upon me, and I will hear him; *
indeed, I am with him in trouble; I will deliver him 
and bring him honor.
16  With long life I will satisfy him, *
and show him my salvation.”
