⁹ The Lord is ^(A)a stronghold for ^(B)the oppressed,
    a stronghold in ^(C)times of trouble.

^8 (C)Trust in him at all times, O people;
    ^(D)pour out your heart before him;
    God is ^(E)a refuge for us. Selah

³ For he will deliver you from ^(F)the snare of the fowler
    and from the deadly pestilence.
⁴ He will ^(G)cover you with his pinions,
    and under his ^(H)wings you will ^(I)find refuge;
    his ^(J)faithfulness is ^(K)a shield and buckler.
^5 (L)You will not fear ^(M)the terror of the night,
    nor the arrow that flies by day,
⁶ nor the pestilence that stalks in darkness,
    nor the destruction that wastes at noonday.

⁷ A thousand may fall at your side,
    ten thousand at your right hand,
    but it will not come near you.
⁸ You will only look with your eyes
    and ^(N)see the recompense of the wicked.

⁹ Because you have made the Lord your ^(O)dwelling place—
    the Most High, who is my ^(P)refuge^[b]—

⁵ I cry to you, O Lord;
    I say, “You are my ^(A)refuge,
    my ^(B)portion in ^(C)the land of the living.”
