³ Surely ^(D)He shall deliver you from the snare of the ^[a]fowler
And from the perilous pestilence.
^4 (E)He shall cover you with His feathers,
And under His wings you shall take refuge;
His truth shall be your shield and ^[b]buckler.
^5 (F)You shall not be afraid of the terror by night,
Nor of the arrow that flies by day,
⁶ Nor of the pestilence that walks in darkness,
Nor of the destruction that lays waste at noonday.

⁷ A thousand may fall at your side,
And ten thousand at your right hand;
But it shall not come near you.
⁸ Only ^(G)with your eyes shall you look,
And see the reward of the wicked.

⁹ Because you have made the Lord, who is ^(H)my refuge,
Even the Most High, ^(I)your dwelling place,
^10 (J)No evil shall befall you,
Nor shall any plague come near your dwelling;
^11 (K)For He shall give His angels charge over you,
To keep you in all your ways.
¹² In their hands they shall ^[c]bear you up,
^(L)Lest you ^[d]dash your foot against a stone.
¹³ You shall tread upon the lion and the cobra,
The young lion and the serpent you shall trample underfoot.

¹⁴ “Because he has set his love upon Me, therefore I will deliver him;
I will ^[e]set him on high, because he has ^(M)known My name.
¹⁵ He shall ^(N)call upon Me, and I will answer him;
I will be ^(O)with him in trouble;
I will deliver him and honor him.
¹⁶ With ^[f]long life I will satisfy him,
And show him My salvation.”

⁴ When I remember these things,
^(E)I pour out my soul within me.
For I used to go with the multitude;
^(F)I went with them to the house of God,
With the voice of joy and praise,
With a multitude that kept a pilgrim feast.

^5 (G)Why are you ^[d]cast down, O my soul?
And why are you disquieted within me?
^(H)Hope in God, for I shall yet praise Him
^[e]For the help of His countenance.

^6 [f]O my God, my soul is cast down within me;
Therefore I will remember You from the land of the Jordan,
And from the heights of Hermon,
From ^[g]the Hill Mizar.
⁷ Deep calls unto deep at the noise of Your waterfalls;
^(I)All Your waves and billows have gone over me.
⁸ The Lord will ^(J)command His lovingkindness in the daytime,
And ^(K)in the night His song shall be with me—
A prayer to the God of my life.

⁹ I will say to God my Rock,
^(L)“Why have You forgotten me?
Why do I go mourning because of the oppression of the enemy?”
¹⁰ As with a ^[h]breaking of my bones,
My enemies ^[i]reproach me,
^(M)While they say to me all day long,
“Where is your God?”

^11 (N)Why are you cast down, O my soul?
And why are you disquieted within me?
Hope in God;
For I shall yet praise Him,
The ^[j]help of my countenance and my God.
