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]—
^10 (Q)no evil shall be allowed to befall you,
    ^(R)no plague come near your tent.

^11 (S)For he will command his ^(T)angels concerning you
    to ^(U)guard you in all your ways.
¹² On their hands they will bear you up,
    lest you ^(V)strike your foot against a stone.
¹³ You will tread on ^(W)the lion and the ^(X)adder;
    the young lion and ^(Y)the serpent you will ^(Z)trample underfoot.

¹⁴ “Because he ^(AA)holds fast to me in love, I will deliver him;
    I will protect him, because he ^(AB)knows my name.
¹⁵ When he ^(AC)calls to me, I will answer him;
    I will be with him in trouble;
    I will rescue him and ^(AD)honor him.
¹⁶ With ^(AE)long life I will satisfy him
    and ^(AF)show him my salvation.”

³ He is like ^(I)a tree
    planted by ^(J)streams of water
that yields its fruit in its season,
    and its ^(K)leaf does not wither.
^(L)In all that he does, he prospers.
⁴ The wicked are not so,
    but are like ^(M)chaff that the wind drives away.

⁵ Therefore the wicked ^(N)will not stand in the judgment,
    nor sinners in ^(O)the congregation of the righteous;
⁶ for the Lord ^(P)knows ^(Q)the way of the righteous,
    but the way of the wicked will perish.
