Nor for the pestilence that walketh in darkness; nor for the destruction that wasteth at noonday.

A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand; but it shall not come nigh thee.

Only with thine eyes shalt thou behold and see the reward of the wicked.

Because thou hast made the Lord, which is my refuge, even the most High, thy habitation;

10 There shall no evil befall thee, neither shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling.

11 For he shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways.

12 They shall bear thee up in their hands, lest thou dash thy foot against a stone.

13 Thou shalt tread upon the lion and adder: the young lion and the dragon shalt thou trample under feet.

nor the pestilence that stalks in the darkness,
    nor the plague that destroys at midday.
A thousand may fall at your side,
    ten thousand at your right hand,
    but it will not come near you.
You will only observe with your eyes
    and see the punishment of the wicked.(A)

If you say, “The Lord is my refuge,”
    and you make the Most High your dwelling,
10 no harm(B) will overtake you,
    no disaster will come near your tent.
11 For he will command his angels(C) concerning you
    to guard you in all your ways;(D)
12 they will lift you up in their hands,
    so that you will not strike your foot against a stone.(E)
13 You will tread on the lion and the cobra;
    you will trample the great lion and the serpent.(F)
