He will spread his wings
over you
    and keep you secure.
His faithfulness is like
    a shield or a city wall.[a]

You won't need to worry
about dangers at night
    or arrows during the day.
And you won't fear diseases
that strike in the dark
    or sudden disaster at noon.

  1. 91.4 city wall: One possible meaning for a difficult Hebrew word; it may possibly mean some kind of shield or weapon.

(A)He shall cover you with His feathers,
And under His wings you shall take refuge;
His truth shall be your shield and [a]buckler.
(B)You shall 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.
