I who dwell in the secret place of the Most High will abide under the shadow of the Almighty. I will say of the Lord, You are my refuge and my fortress, and in You I will put my trust. Surely You will deliver me from the snare of the fowler, and from the perilous pestilence. You will cover me with Your feathers, and under Your wings I will take refuge. Your truth will be my shield and buckler, I will not be afraid of the terror by night, nor of the arrow that flies by day, nor of the pestilence that walks in darkness, nor of the destruction that lays waste at noonday. A thousand may fall at my side, and ten thousand at my right hand, but it will not come near me. Only with my eyes will I look and see the reward of the wicked. Because I have made the Lord, who is my refuge, even the Most High, my dwelling place, no evil will befall me, nor will any plague come near my dwelling. For You will give Your angels charge over me to keep me in all of my ways. In their hands they will bear me up lest I dash my foot against a stone. I will tread upon the lion and the cobra and the young lion and serpent I will trample underfoot. Because I set my love upon You, therefore You will deliver me. You will set me on high because I have known Your name. I will call upon You, and You will answer me, You will be with me in times of trouble, and You will deliver me and honor me, with long life You will satisfy me, and show me Your salvation. In Jesus’ name. Amen. (Psalm 91)
