¹³ For You formed my inward parts;
You ^[a]covered me in my mother’s womb.
¹⁴ I will praise You, for ^[b]I am fearfully and wonderfully made;
Marvelous are Your works,
And that my soul knows very well.
^15 (A)My ^[c]frame was not hidden from You,
When I was made in secret,
And skillfully wrought in the lowest parts of the earth.

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.”
