My Refuge and My Fortress
1 He who dwells in mthe shelter of the Most Highwill abide in nthe shadow of the Almighty.
2I will say ▼
▼Septuagint He will say
to the Lord, “My prefuge and my qfortress,my God, in whom I rtrust.”
3 For he will deliver you from sthe snare of the fowler
and from the deadly pestilence.
4He will tcover you with his pinions,
and under his uwings you will vfind refuge;
his wfaithfulness is xa shield and buckler.
5 yYou will not fear zthe terror of the night,
nor the arrow that flies by day,
6nor 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.
8You will only look with your eyes
and aasee the recompense of the wicked.
9 Because you have made the Lord your abdwelling place—
the Most High, who is my acrefuge ▼
▼Or For you, O Lord, are my refuge! You have made the Most High your dwelling place
—10 aeno evil shall be allowed to befall you,
afno plague come near your tent.

8 Thus says the Lord:ag“As the new wine is found in the cluster,
and they say, ‘Do not destroy it,
for there is a blessing in it,’
so I will do for my servants’ sake,
ahand not destroy them all.
