³ He will surely deliver you from the hunter’s snare
    and from the destructive plague.
⁴ With his feathers he will cover you,
    under his wings you will find safety.
        His truth is your shield and armor.

⁵ You need not fear terror that stalks^[b] in the night,
    the arrow that flies in the day,
⁶ plague that strikes in the darkness,
    or calamity that destroys at noon.
⁷ If a thousand fall at your side
    or ten thousand at your right hand,
        it will not overcome you.
⁸ Only observe^[c] it with your eyes,
    and you will see how the wicked are paid back.

⁹ “Lord, you are my refuge!”

Because you chose the Most High as your dwelling place,
¹⁰ no evil will fall upon you,
        and no affliction will approach your tent,
¹¹ for he will command his angels
    to protect you in all your ways.
¹² With their hands they will lift you up
    so you will not trip over a stone.
¹³ You will stomp on lions and snakes;
    you will trample young lions and serpents.
